I am working towards this and would appreciate advice on parts. As far as I know my car hasn’t ever had anything replaced in the front suspension apart from track rod ends and the “lollipop” bushes, both of these in the last 8K miles.
At 60K miles and 25 years old I am sure it would benefit from a refresh. Obvious parts are front struts, bump stops and top mounts but is there anything else in there worth replacing while doing the job?

All bushes including front control arm. I recommend z3m fcab as they are solid rubber and drive better without poly harshness. I have them in mine. Also I recommend bilstein struts and shocks bases on my personal car but these things are a matter of preference.

Edit. I see u did fcab already. Still recommend z3m ones while it's in bits
