Default Wagon suspension mods; what order?

I am planning a rebuild, starting with shocks, as I already have Eibach springs. It consists so far of rear 22mm arb, and droplinks, a roll centre kit, Superpro, but should I replace the front droplinks at the same time, and/or the front arb? I plan to replace the steering rack bushes as well. Anything else? Its an 05 wagon, daily used, occasional fast road. Thanks.

Hi mate, have you fitted the eibach springs yet, just wondered how the car sits if you have. Ive got spec c shocks and springs on mine and is a little low on the back end. Probably not necessary to change the front arb for road use but if your refreshing the rest of the car, you might as well. Ive got the cdf racing arbs for mine but not fitted them yet. Dont forget a geo set up when your done too.

I`ve run the Eibachs for nearly 2 years now; it sits 20 / 30 mm lower. .... So, replace front drop links or not? Also, I have read that the arb mountings would need up rating to stop it tearing away ?
