As far as suspension components go, I stopped buying parts out of motor factors a long time ago. OE only or something like Lemforder. They cost a lot more but I simply got fed up doing the same job every 20k (or in many cases a lot less!). The 406 has a stupendous number of suspension components, particularly on the rear, pattern parts were getting tiresome.
As far as P bushes go, almost as important as what brand, but is that they are aligned correctly. The bush should spend the majority of it's time in a neutral, unstressed position. If it is not aligned to the arm 100%, then it is under stress most of the time. This all goes out of the window when you start doing things like lowering, stock alignment will no longer be correct and will significantly reduce the lifespan on the bush.
