Suspension refresh/ rebuild

[DanceMonkeyRS200]

I've got a 2011 200 cup (small top mount) with 60k miles and it had H&R springs fitted when I bought it along with 25mm H&R spacers and I'm now planning a full refresh of the suspesnion.
The car is used as my daily for a 20 mile round trip commute, with the odd detour on the way home if I have time and I'm in the mood and for a bit of fun on country lanes on weekends and not likely to see any track use. I have an i30N that does family duty and longer trips.

So far I've picked up the following new parts, top mounts, damper gaitors and bump stops, rear spring mount rubbers top and bottom, anti rotation links, ARB drop links, Eibach spring kit. I thought about going down the Yellowspeed route but was advised by a local Renault specialist to keep it simple for road use and after advice on here too I will likely order non cup dampers to suit the Eibachs, the rear is currently really harsh but also lacking control on bumpy back roads. My questions are around the rest of the setup.

I've been advised it's probably worth replacing the beam bushes and front bushes/ball joints while the rest is being refreshed. I've seen the white line bushes recommended for the rear for road use any opinions on this and the time involved to change them?
The other part is the front end and I'm wondering is it just worth picking up replacement Renault wishbones rather than replace bushes and ball joints? The Renault wishbones are currently £110 or so each from RPD and polybushes and replacement ball joints end up costing more than new wishbones?
Also what difference would removing the spacers have on handling?

Any help appreciated

White line bushes are likely to be stiffer than standard Renault rear beam bushes - that seems to go against your choice to have a softer ride on your car? I attempted to change my rear beam bushes on my drive and found that there was not enough room on one side to do the job unless I dropped the fuel tank. You might be able to do it without touching the tank but for the sake of £150 I got a local garage to do it for me.

I have had all of my balljoints and wishbones replaced this year. It should cost you about £600 for each side to be done by a garage. For £600 you should have the two ball joints on the hub replaced and a new wishbone.

If you want an opinion on spacers just search the forum. For what it is worth the spacers vs non-spacers debate is very subjective. You should try driving with them on and then off and decide yourself.

Thanks for the reply burrellbloke,

It's not so much a softer ride but rather damping that absorbs bumps at speed and ability to keep to a chosen line. The rear seems to spend most of it's time crashing and banging into the bump stops and deflecting up off the road and at times from where I'd ideally like it to go. I don't mind the rear getting mobile I've owned enough rwd cars with LSDs to know what's going on when it does eventually slide and I'm ok with a bit of left foot braking but it's not much use

I had a cup packed Megane RS 265 so know that Renault can make a car that works with speed on a bumpy B road even if it's super stiff around town but the H&R's have a reputation for harshness and the Eibachs are designed to work with the non cup dampers and suj on here highly recommends them as a fast road setup.
The H&R setup certainly looks the part as it drops the car nicely and fills the arches but I'm pretty sure it's far from great for performance.

As for the ball joints some have been replaced recently as there are invoices for the parts but it's not clear which were replaced it will have to wait until I get it on a ramp and have a check.
