I suggest uprading the strut mounts to poly while its all apart. Camber kit is ALWAYS a good idea when lowering even .5", but 2" or more is when it is really needed IMO.

Rear sway is the most important bar on a FWD car, then comes lower rear tie, then upper strut braces, & finally a lower front tie. Try to purchase an adjustable rear sway.

Strut bars are SIMPLE to install, almost as easy as changing a shift knob. The sway bars are little more complicated, but also easy.

dang jackass, thanks. if i hadn't read that i'd have probably put a front sway bar on LOL. So right now would this be lookin good on suspension:

1) Strut Mounts
2) Springs
3) Struts
4) rear sway bar

then i can add strut bars later on. when i have $$ again hehe. Is their anything else that i'm going to wanna have done when everything is apart and i have somebody workin on it? I hear a lot about brushings maybe it'd be worth my whiel to have those replaced too?

EDIT: are tie bars the same thing as strut bars?
