for me, this alone will eliminate several items on the list. narrow, non grippy tires aren't going to be able to take advantage of and utilize some components. don't get me wrong, adjustable strut rods are the cats ***, but they're totally unnecessary for what you're trying to accomplish.
i would also piece meal the components together selecting what i wanted instead of one stop shopping it.
i'd go with moog offset UCA bushings, and then a good upper ball joint.
on the LCA, i'd probably run rubber and not bother with the greaseable pins. same as upper just some decent lower joints. skip the stiffening plates.
skip the adjustable strut rods and just run poly bushings.
poly bushings on the sway bar-- always.
stock tie rods are fine.
100% upgrade the t-bars, this is critical. same with the subframe connectors.
that should leave you some bread for shocks.
the rear suspension is tricky for on big glaring reason: rear springs are expensive. but if you have at least some V8 springs back there, it'll be okay for the time being. you could tighten them up with poly bushings, but that's kind of false economy if they're some clapped out or weak tang /6 jobbers. so better to save your shekels and get some decent steel back there-- that matches your t-bar rates!! and then build/buy a front spring hanger to adjust ride height if needed.
