1) most people say if you get the upper/lowers you won't need the axle damper making more room for tires
2) If you get rack bushings, make sure they're polyurethane to prevent possible binding of the steering rack
3) Spring Isolators arn't mandatory, i have them in the back for the "raked" look but some members have removed them front and rear all together and imo and don't do much to improve suspension.
Maybe a sway bar or two would be beneficial to your cause, and there's always room forbetter bushings

+10 on coilovers. If you ever wat to turbo or anything, you will have to swap out the k member and get coilovers to make some room. get k member, a arms, coil overs and all that other stuff.
