All Parts Needed For Full Major Suspension Rebuild?

I'm looking to upgrade my suspension all around and wanted to get everyones input and advice as to what would be needed. I'm fairly new to the adavance suspension modifcations and wanted to know what would be needed besides Coilovers, sway bars, bushings Sub-frame connectors, etc. to build the ultimate suspension setup? All advice is welcome, please no flames.
Thank you for your time and advice

What's your budget? What are your plans for the car after suspension mods? Street only, Street/Track or Track only? What are you looking to achieve out of the suspension mods? How are the condition of the roads in your area?

Well, I decided to its time to upgrade to coilovers(ksports most likley) and I 'm looking to do a street/ Track setup.I'm already boosted and really want to tighten and soildify the suspension up all around and just not with coilvers. Budget is between $1500-$2100. I'm in Long Island NY so depending on where I go, the road conditons vary, but for the most part its decent

I did the same thing, this is what I replaced:

Axles from Raxles
tie rod endlinks
inner tie rods
sway bar endlinks
lower control arms (this covers the ball joints and bushings)
I also recommend energy suspension bushings for the sway bar end links and the sway bar frame mounts.
And if you don't have it a strut tower brace get one, they are dirt cheap.
I already had tokico illuminatas and springs. So, if you go with coilovers, you will have that part covered as well. You can get the energy suspension bushings from Brian Cattman.

Quite a bit. I spent about $900 on the whole suspension and it was worth it.
