Getting WL RCK installed...anything else?

I'm going to be getting the Whiteline Roll Center Kit installed in the near future and I'm wondering if there are any other must-do items while the front-end it apart? I looked at the Perrin PSRS but I do not like the idea of a solid metal bushing on a daily-driver. Are the stock front anti-sway bar bushings easy to access with the control arm removed? How about that Whiteline Steering Precision Kit?

Front lower control arm bushing, using the one from Energy Suspension. Might as well since the arm will be off for the ball joints to get pressed in.

Will there be any benefit to replacing just one rubber bushing with a poly one though? Any experience with how much additional vibration that one bushing will add?

I don't have any experience because I've yet to do mine, but I plan on it when I do the RCA like you. I figure, why not while the arm is out.

I spoke with the guy who will be doing the install work for me (I really don't feel like attempting this job laying on my back with the car on jackstands and not having access to a press) and I think I'll be getting a set of Energy bushings for the stock 24mm front anti-sway bar. I'll look into that other control arm bushing you recomended a bit too and decide if it would be a good choice for my car.

The front control arm bushing from Whiteline or Energy is a solid upgrade. Worth it IMO and not much of a noticeable change in NVH.
