Looking to refresh the suspension on my 2002 Boxster S. The car is a daily driver that sees the track a few times a year (DE events). The daily commute consists of some mountain roads and some stop and go traffic.

Planning to adding Feal coilovers and refreshing the rest of the suspension.

The question is should I go with new OEM (or equivalent) parts with rubber bushings or update the current pieces with PowerFlex polyurethane bushings? Replacing with OEM equivalent will cost me around 1150 where the Powerflex bushings are only around 525.

How will each affect the handling and ride?

Thanks
