Default suspension replacement

I finally getting started with the project that I was going to do last winter. For the suspension piece, I'm going with LG Coilovers/T-1 sway bars. In addition to that, I want to replace anything that could wear out. I've ordered the bushing kit from Pfadt. Going to get new ball joints from rockauto, new wheelbearings from autozone, ARP wheel studs, and I've got a Hardbar camber/stud kit on the way.

What else am I missing? Pretty much want anything that's not solid metal to be replaced.

If the T-1 sway bars do not have and/or come with metal endlinks, I would pick up a set
