Other components to change.

Car is a 2013 Cooper JCW with 100k.

I will be replacing all the shocks/struts with either Koni Yellows or Bilstein HD's. Keeping the factory springs as the car will be autocrossed in DS.

Questions. What other components of the suspension should I change while I am in there? I quickly looked at the control arm bushings and they all seemed fine. But I am assuming by 100k, all these should be replaced, Bushings, Swaybar end links, etc.

Thoughts?

PowerFlex control arm bushings make a big difference, stiffer/adjustable rear sway bar a definite upgrade.
