Street/Mostly Strip Front Suspension

My mom used to say, "Fight nice, kids"!
That being said, I appreciate all of the advice. I'm going down the middle as far as bushings go. I'm going to try out a few combinations of rubber and poly, and see what my combo likes. How's that for diplomacy? :)
I mentioned what I'm doing with shocks, for now anyway.
I ordered Proforged balljoints. I'll see what they look like.
Considering what 72bluNblu said about the strut rods, regarding freedom of movement, I'm going to look over aftermarket strut rods. They are more involved to install, so I'd put them in now. Have to look at the budget.
This is ongoing. I will never agree with him. My experience with poly was when I went up against the front wheels footbraking the Duster. The poly bushings crumbled and we saw pieces come out from under the car . I eliminated travel and increased my 60 ft . But it was only a mid 10 sec car.
