Default Getting a reconditioned rear beam 1.1 any upgrades worth requesting?

My rear beam is shagged so I am ordering a reconditioned one, on the website it offers custom options;

Aftermarket Shocks(sourced and fitted)
Aftermarket mount bushes (sourced and fitted)
New hubs supplied and fitted
Stronger outer stub pins
Thicker torsion bars
Thicker anti roll bars
Race and rally rebuilds
Height adjustments
Oilite bush conversions
Grease nipple fitting

are any of these worth getting?

I plan to keep the car for the foreseeable future and know its only a 1.1 I am not expecting it to handle like a performance car but as I'm getting the axle replaced thought I'd ask opinions on any possible "upgrades"? I could request oh and I'm not interested in getting it lowered on its arse for looks but if there is anything in that list that seems worth requesting to improve durability, handling or both please input.

£80 ia a lot of money if you haven't upgraded the fronts. Otherwise you'll probably have a twitchy rear end.

unless you wanted to lower your car anytime soon then it may be the time to do it, but other than that, none of it is really necessary on your car tbh
standard spec will do
