Bushes

Right, my lowered R53 Cooper S has over 50,000 miles clocked up now and I've heard of people having changed certain bushes at lesser mileage to help improve the handling and ride of their Cooper S.

I've heard front suspension arms rear bushes mentioned, but what other bushes should I be looking at, and what brands of bushes should I be going for?

Only know of OEM or Powerflex bushes. Also is it a big job getting these changed or could most mechanics under take this?

I am in the same position here and think some bushes need to be replaced to soften my ride and prevent vibrations on the wheel during acceleration.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
