E81 suspension upgrade

I have a 2004 cayenne turbo with air suspension and need to replace some worn front suspensions parts. I am likely going with replacing the lower control arm and tie rod with the upgraded turbo S version. I was curious on people opinions of the Powerflex polyurethane bushings and if anyone has experience on using them on a cayenne. Also I have found that eurowise sells adjustable spherical end links for the sway bar as upgrades to the oem ones and hoping to hear from anyone with experience with these. Should I just ignore this aftermarket products and stick to OEM.

I'm all for the poly bushings and most anything from Eurowise. I have their spherical sway/end links on the front of my 958 CTT. I'd like to think it stiffened up body roll in corners slightly. The bar itself is already pretty beefy. I really want to do a full Eurowise set of everything they offer from the upper and lower arms/rods as well as the spherical rear control and toe arms. I think it'd turn an already pretty nice handling 5000lb SUV into an even more grippy version of that. Especially with good tires and an alignment shop that knows what they're doing and gets your toe set to as close to 0 as possible with just the right amount of negative camber. That's be a sweet spot for a road going Cayenne, I must say. I wish I could swap all the body/frame bushings with the polyurethane ones as well. I imagine NVH and ride quality might take a dip. But it already rides nicely as is, so I guess getting better/stiffer bushings on a Porsche would just make it feel more like a Ford Explorer. Idk.
