Another "What to replace" thread - 2010 128i w/ 52K miles going to Bilstein B12

Folks,

My car: 2010 128i w/ sport, 84K kms (52K miles), daily driver/year round, I'm the 2nd owner.

Planned chassis upgrades for now: Bilstein B12 kit, Dinan camber plates, Dinan RSMs, Whiteline 2piece RSFBs

Looking for advice on what can be "easily" and relatively cheaply replaced while the suspension is off. I'll be paying someone to do the install, so items that are already easily replaceable like the front strut mounts I will go for, but not looking to press out all the control arm bushings for example. Easy and cheap being the key words here

Using this excellent post as a reference:
http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1203243

My list looks like:

- 2x lemforder front strut mounts
- 2x rear spring pads (lower)
- 2x rear spring pads (upper)
- 2x front spring pad (lower)

These seem to be obvious/easy/cheap replacements, any others from the reference post that are a must given my mileage?

Also - the B12 kit should come with its own bump-stops front and rear correct? Any other "overlap" parts that the kit would come with which I don't need?

Thanks in advance!
Ash
