Cool, suspension refresh is never wrong considering the age on these cars...

First, me personally I would stay far away from Powerflex or similar "stiffer" bushings. Why? Well consider what movement each joint is supposed to do, are they supposed to give resistance to movement? Not really, they are suposed to be precise, with no play.. But you would want the resistance to movement to be handled in a controlled fashion by the shocks/springs and swaybars. At least that´s my view. Anyone think I´m on thin ice here please let me know, I´m here to learn!

When it comes to front engine mount I believe there is more or less a consensus that for a street car the OEM 987-mount is the one you want.

Unfortunately I´m not experienced enough to tell you what parts are most likely to be worn. I have so far only had issues with the outer joint in the front LCA:s but this winter I´ll tear it all down and replace whatever seems to need replacing, will go to coilovers and solid bushings so maybe I´m not a good reference..

One thing that´s not on your list that might be in bad shape is the top mounts btw!

Good luck!
