There are 2 different sets of control arms pictured, which ones are you getting the poly bushings or solid?

If you do get those control arms, make sure you get the spherical bearings. Also, I would wait until your suspension is completely done before you buy a sway bar.

You will want spherical bushings on your LCAs. If not you aren't gaining anything from buying them.

Your sway bar, from what I am told, is something you buy last because it is a what you use to fine tune your suspension setup.

Sway bars should be done last.
