New suspension plan for my 04 GT(P)

So it's about time to roll my GT(P) swapped car into the shop for some more work. Here's my current setup:

04 GT with a CompG Engine and Trans installed
Stock GT Springs / Struts / Sway Bars with 180k miles
17" Wheels, 225/55/17 tires

I had planned on swapping to a set of GXP Bilsteins, however I got screwed over by a shady seller.

Here's my new plan:
Excel-G 339015 Front Struts (06+ Style, FE4 Spec)
Excel-G 339148 Rear Struts (06+ Style, FE4 Spec)
Stock CompG Springs
Monroe Strut Mounts
Stock CompG Rear Swaybar
Dorman Front Swaybar
06+ Style LCA's

Anything else I'm missing here?

Thanks

Thanks guys!

I'm going to skip the lowering springs for now, I kinda like the stance / ride the stock setups give. I already have a set of CompG springs sitting here from my donor car, so I won't need those.

Well, I ordered all the parts up, including all 4 wheel hubs (Timkin) and both CV's (Cardone). My wallets about $1000 lighter, but this thing should corner a bit better! I'm thinking about picking up the energy suspension bushings for the sway bar, anyone know the correct ones for the Dorman bar?

Got everything installed over the weekend! Rides pretty good, but I think my swaybar is hitting the downpipe on acceleration. Is this a common issue with the Dorman bar?

Thanks

Yeah, they do that and it came come up as false KR. You can mount it upside down and it will still handle the same, but give you more clearance. You should get a STB to match the front ones too, as well as poly center bushings. They made a bigger difference than my sways them selves.
