Default Have I got everything covered?

It's a '93 Civic Hatch. It has an H22 swap that is fully built and all motor. It should be putting down around 250 whp. The battery has been relocated to the rear to help with weight distribution.
Just wondering if there is anything else I should replace supension-wise like bushings, etc. I have no real goals with this car, it won't be a drag racer, I dont auto X or road race. In, other words, I want it to be able to do everything well, but not excel at any particular motorsport.

Here's what is bought or what I'm planning to get.

Omnipower Front/Rear Camber Kit
Omnipower Front/Rear LCA's
Import Builders Springs 300/400 lb spring rates, 1.5" drop (iirc, not sure)
Full Race Traction bars
Tokico Blues Shock Absorbers (on a budget for shocks, around $300)
Front wheel bearings

I also have a Ebay set of strutbars, but not sure if I should use them or if they would do any good.

Thanks for any inputs guys

eBay bars will do no good.

I'd hold out on getting the Tokico Blues & save up for the Whites.

Or do what I did & find them used.

Any reason for getting the new wheel bearings or is it just one of those "just because" things?

The wheel bearings need to be replaced, they're worn out.

Are the Tokico whites aka "Illuminas"?

Yes, they're Illuminas. I spaced on that, sorry.

I have those w/ Tein S Tech springs. Most peolpe say the ride is too soft, but it's my DD so I think it's a perfect setup.

I'm not really looking for adjustability though. Are the Illuminas the same as the blues except you can adjust them?

I think the blues are meant to be stock replacements, the Illuminas are adjustable (I just leave them on the stiffest setting) & are meant for lowered cars.
