Default Getting new suspension on the ute

Hey guys

I've decided to free up some money and lower the ute, so i figure while i'm doing it i'll get some new bushes and sway bars from whiteline:

Camber/Caster kit-uppr c/arm - KCA328
Swaybar-heavy duty. AU2-3 - BFF21
Swaybar-heavy duty. ute cab-chassis - BFR58

Will also be getting king springs:
Super Low leaf springs (rear) - FOR-802
Super Low coil springs (front) - KFFL-57

Any suggestions/ideas as to what else i might need?
i'm still undecided on shocks still, koni's would be nice :

Shocks ... i am looking for something a bit better than I have now (currently have Pedders SportsRyder Gas) .... I was looking at Bilstein actually.

I might get my bushes replaced as well ... and just get a general look over to see if anything else needs doing as well.

Sounds good what you list so far, as for shocks with a short stroke on a budget Pedders if not Koni's or Billys...

The Bilsteins are highly regarded, I have them in the Ba and adj. konis in the AU. Have no complaints about the konis either.
