I think you're going about it all wrong.

Start with the basics, bushings, ball joints, steering bits. If you need bushings (which you likely do), feel free to go with poly, as it's not significantly more costly.

Shocks and struts should wait until you have the money for something better than Monroe. I'd gamble that new Monroes aren't significantly better than 18-year-old Boge OE.

Once you are back to square one, THEN you can think about major mods like lowering springs.

But you might be surprised at just how good a perfect stock suspension can be.
