Cool Whats upcoming for my car.

I have a TON of parts here ready to go onto my car. I am just waiting for the last two struts to get here. Who wants to help? lol This is what I am doing:

-AGX struts (KYB)
-Vogtland springs
-Anti pogo washers (Red)
-New mounts and all new strut parts (KYB)
-Ball joints (Moog grease-able)
-Tie rods and tie rod ends (Moog)
-Front wheel bearings (Timken)
-Trailing arms (Solid)
-Front and rear sway bars (Front solid rear GMPP)
-Moog sway links rear
-Poly sway links front
-STB bar (Junk yard $5) for the rear strut tower with (Rome brackets)

That's all I can think of right now, I might be leaving one or two things out.

??I was thinking, since I am doing everything else, should I do the control arm bushings too??

My car should handle pretty well after. I will make sure to take pix and yes I do have a digital camera now lol.

Next on the list is a top swap or the M90 kit from ZZP. I am debating about driving to ZZP since I am not that far and having them install and tune it. But that is probably at least 6 months from happening.

What do you guys think? Are the control arm bushings worth doing or no? I have seen places say yes because if they are shot and you get an alignment it will be worthless, but I guess I don't see that they are that bad.

Keith- I will take multiple pix, might be a few days before I get everything on lol

Sounds like you're doing the whole thing, so I think you might as well do the control arm bushings. Heck, you're going to be in there doing all that stuff anyway can't be that much more expensive and like you said, get alignment just once.
By the way, nice list of goodies!
