Shocks - was considering the KYBs http://www.kgtrimning.org/amazonp180...e/sportracing/

I'm not racing the car, only for summer driving and cruising with the kids so I don't want to feel every little smal rock I meet on the tarmac.

Poly bushings/Fittings - one of the locals claims they squeak and makes the car very hard driving - by hard I mean feeling every little thing you hit. Any one with experience on these ?
Never had a squeaky polybush... and I've fitted a fair few over the years on various cars. Use lube supplied with the bush if necessary and tighten everything up correctly and you should be OK.

Because some polybushes are made out of really hard material, the ride will be affected. You can get more compliant (i.e. softer) bushes. Shop around and see what you prefer.

Personally, I feel the improvement in road holding and ride is worth a bit of harshness. As with everything in life, it's a compromise.
