hey, give me a list of what you're going for. i'm pretty much in the same boat as you are. i don't think the bushings have ever been done, or the tie rods... or well, basically anything except having my shocks and struts replaced about 1.5 years ago. based on what matt said, the list i have so far is only thus:

8 sway bar link bushings
lower ball joints
outer tie rods
conical strut rod bushings (2 per side)

what else is on your list?

by the way, i have KYB gas-a-just shocks on the rear, and they're decently stiff. i don't recall what i had on the front, but they're doing well also.

my car seems to have a lot of leaning while turning, even slight turns at moderate speeds. everyone here has suggested doing all the bushings first before dumping money for thicker sway bars from IPD, so i'm going to do this first. i already have a lower chassis brace, which helped a tiny, tiny bit. :-)

thanks, best of luck to you!
