        Unfortunately not a whole lot of support for urethane bushings for the DS. Check out what is available for the Pug 207(same suspension).
        I would say first put some good sticky performance tyres on it, that will help a lot. Then go for top rate coil overs. The biggest improvement to be had. Yes they cost but you not only get to lower it how you want but more important is the independent adjustability in compression and rebound. That will let you set up your cars handling exactly how you like it. Then an upper strut tie bar, it will do wonders for turn in. That along with a good alignment and corner weighting from a motorsport shop not a run of the mill workshop. Normal shops will just not put the time into the job that it requires nor can they offer advice on what to have it adjusted too for best handling. Not just get it in factory tolerance. These things alone will improve your handling greatly. Feel free not to do any of this stuff because it does cost and frankly it is not worth it for 90% of people. A set of lowering springs and good tyres will give you a noticeable improvement and it will not break you.

          If you want "cheap" and good coilovers search for the Eibach Pro Street S It's a relabeled KW V1, same quality but cheaper. Or if you want to go All-in than you need the KW V3
