need suspension advice
#1

Hi all- I'm getting ready to tackle the next project on my 2001 XKR, with CATS shocks. car has 111K miles. It looks like there is 3 ways to go.
1. just replace the worn out bushings, mounts, etc
2. same as #1, but also replace the CATS shocks
3. #1, but instead of CATS, use Std. Bilsteins.
With the car running, the "bounce" test shows the shocks are not loose and do not have excessive rebound, so I'm sort of inclined to just do #1. On my parts list I have the following: sway bar bushings, top shock mounts, lower shock bushings, spring isolator and bump stops.
Are there any other parts that should be added to this list?
Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated!
