Those are the MUSTS for this car. Other ones that aren't necessary, but are noticeable are: front upper control arm bushings and the differential bushing. The differential bushing drastically changes ride characteristics tho, so you really gotta want that "track car on the street" feel.

While on the topic. I noticed today one of my lower ball joints is trashed. It's fully busted and the passenger side is meh. My car has 201K on it and I just bought it 1k miles ago. To do the ball joints I'm gonna have to get some bigger tools and rent a press. The rear looks good from what I can see. What else should I look for up front. There is only so much one can see visibly. Not sure if it's better to get new transverse links, upper control arms , etc with poly bushings in them or just replace all the bushings. I don't want to spend a ton of money on these tools over getting a shop to install everything. I will do springs this week also. So while Im doing springs and lower ball joints I might as well replace what I can while I'm in there. I have no wires noises and car rides fine. Front tires do have excessive outside wear on them however.
