Any advice for 05 vp?

Ok so im rounding 120,000 miles and my suspension is shot. I was originally going to go with the progress sway bars, but I see too many issues with my custom exhaust being in the way. Honestly I was content with the handling from stock.
My plan as of now is the neuspeed front strut bar and generic rear upper brace, some new oem struts, and some control arm bushings, tie rod ends n thats it. I havent seen any suggestions for oem struts on the site if anyone has any. And any opinions on the polyeurothane motor mounts?

Poly motor mounts are the best purchase I've made for my entire car.

Not sure what swaybar will fit. Its a vp, so when I did the a2 swap I used the a2 mani and the exhaust was all custom made 2.25" downpipe and all. Maybe ill post a pic of the front?rear where the swaybars go.
And no if the rear tower bar wont help ill skip it.
And ill check out the tokiko blues. I saw them mentioned, but I thought they were for drop springs. I just want stock ride height since the roads around here are rough+alot of speedbumps. Thanks for the input.
