The car is knocking a bit at the front so I'm getting a quote tomorrow from Peugeot to see how much they are, is there anything else I should change while I'm doing this other than the droplinks

Basically if there cheaper than £40 a side they're crap budget ones and will last about 3-4 months if your lucky.
IIRC last time I went to pug they were around £80 a side, got OEM ones elsewhere for ~£60 a side I think, I also replaced my droplinks and all the bolts/washers ect.

The wishbones will be Peugeot ones, and my dad works for Peugeot so I get parts at cost price + vat so don't mind buying my stuff from Peugeot

So there's nothing else I should change while I'm there other than lower arms and wishbones?

I should get them alot cheaper than that mate to be honest, other things I've bought have roughly been slightly higher than half price so that's what I'm hoping for this time

If it's got anything to do with keeping my car on the road, and not finding a ditch I never grumble about the price lol
Better still if you get a discount like Sir Furryhobnob
