Was going to tell you to check Rockauto. I was looking there and seeing "upper control arms" for $50 and under but then thought they may be different than what you need or are looking at because of the price difference. Rockauto has MOOG parts in the "economy" section but I consider MOOG to be good quality stuff (at least my experience with their wheel-bearing assemblies for our Hondas).

I'll probably grab some average shocks too
And the strut mount? I never replaced those and I just hit 100k

You can verify the part numbers, but the 3 KYB shock/strut versions are:
A - Sedan X models
B - Sedan Base/Sport & Coupe Base
C - Coupe Sport

Those LOOK good, but I can't agree they are a functional improvement. If you are THAT GUY driving around with your fog lights on all night please stop, they are designed on the G to blind everyone as they are effectively flood lights. During the day that'll look nicely contrasted!
I prefer to just paint the bowls with translucent canary yellow paint for stained glass. Gives that JDM look and lasts forever. I love the look.
2nd point. NO LED MAIN BEAM. Drop in LED bulbs work okay for turn signals and back up bulbs but not for main beams. It will either be too wide or too focused (pencil beam) and it will have dark spots.

I think the '07 lights are the same as '08. If so, the foglights are completely ineffective. I've posted pictures showing them on and off and there's almost no perceptible difference.

Albanian nah, she's staying stock. After almost 3 years with her the only thing I've changed is cutting out the stock resonator and replacing it with a Pypes X box for a little extra growl.
Urban, thanks. Might be time for me to find a new hosting site, seems SlickPic scales down the resolution of photos when they are linked to a forum like this. Here are the untouched pics from my Galaxy S6 Active on auto, big difference:
