Suspension rattle and hum, everything needs replacing....good advice please

Hi all,

New here and its a fantastic forum, my background is VW early golfs so this is my first B5.

Its a standard 1999 facelift 1.8SE (non turbo)
Just touched 170k, but the engine is really smooth and bodywise its very straight.


Its a nice tidy car which I do want to keep, but the suspension is in a poor state.
1: lots of rattles and squeaks from the front and back of car over uneven surfaces.
2: worn or broken front coil springs as 'nose down stance', bottoms out over bumps, already ruined undertray which is now gone .
3: suspension very soft.

Okay its a big list, but I need help / honest advice so I can save this car.

Looks like I am going to need to replace springs / shocks, all arms and bushes.
Anything else you think I should be replacing at the same time please advise.

Best parts / kits to use and best affordable suppliers for parts, any other advice as I may try and do this myself at home as I am on a budget.

Thanks Bradders,
Yes been reading some of the forum and have seen a few people mention the Meyle HD kit, what suppliers stock this kit and is it everything you need (car set) or are there additional parts I would need?
Any steps in the right direction would be really helpful.

Thanks

Thanks for all the advice, really useful.
This will really help
