My car has 75K on it, but has always felt tight and very solid, but hey - I plan to have it awhile and while I am in there.....
Anything else I should look at? How common are front sway bar links for replacement? For $60 I am considering putting them in while I am in there - unless that is just stupid?
Already did FCAB's and sway bushings last year.
Want to tackle everything while I am in there!

LOL, I asked my shop to do the same thing. I just needed one broken rear spring replaced, but $1700 later I got new:
Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs
Koni sport shocks
Rogue Engineering RSM
Meyle FCAB
Front strut mounts
Front upper & lower spring pads
Front bump stops
Front dust boots
Rear upper & lower spring pads
Rear bump stops
Rear dust boots
Do some research on the different sized spring pads - I think we have the option of going 2.5mm, 5mm, 10mm, or 15mm. My kit advertised a 1.2" drop all around, but my rear is now 1/2" lower than my front. You may want to put in a slighter thicker rear spring pad (10mm instead of 5mm) so it looks more even after the installation is done.
