i used to run my old escort on koni adjustables with chassis dynamic springs and it was fully polybushed, couldnt really fault the setup to be honest!
New escort has spherical bearing top mounts, gaz coilovers, adjustable track control arms and compression struts to do away with the front anti roll bar, every bush that still existed has been changed for a poly item, havent had chance to try it on the road yet but im hoping it handles spot on... even if it does give a bit of a harsh ride!!!
