Do you have a brembo brake equipped 2012? If so then the rear swaybar in that kit is the same as stock. Not an upgrade at all. Something to think about.
Your control arm choice will also have some NVH in street use. While a solid rotating joint on one end with a bushing on the other end is a good design to minimize bind, with only 1 bushing you have less noise isolation.
With bushings on both ends there is some bind, but its not excessive and noticeable for a high performance street application. In fact, control arms aren't really that critical if what you are looking for is handling anyway.
Why don't you give us a call so we can discuss what you really need and make sure you spend your money on parts that are actual upgrades while not compromising in certain areas like noise and vibration or getting you parts you don't really need for your goals.
