Have a few questions and wanted to run my list of parts by this esteemed forum. The car is an '87 325is 5spd coupe (that we are on the fence for keeping or selling) and if I do suspension, I'd like to do it all at once; bushings, upgraded parts, and modifications. The car is not a daily driver, it's a fun car and my wife and I both appreciate a sporty ride. We might track it some day, who knows.
Here is my list, am I missing any "while I'm in there" parts?

I'm unsure on the offset front strut mounts. Should I use those and/or fixed camber plates?
I'd like to replace all rubber items while I'm in there, like rubber spring pads. Should I add any other parts, aftermarket or OEM to do spring pads?
The Ireland Engineering sway bar kit, the reinforcements, are these metal plates ok vs the other setups that require welding in reinforcement tabs?
