Starting the suspension

Hi, I have an 83 GSL and I am just about to start doing some work on the suspension. I will be installing Tokico Illuminas with Racing Beat springs, and I also bought a full bushing kit from ReSpeed. I am just wondering if there is anything else I should take care of while I'm working on the suspension as I'm sure most of what's down there is still 24 years old.

I got mine from ReSpeed at http://www.mrcmfg.com/respeed/. I've heard good things about them on the forums. I also don't think there are very many options as I haven't heard of anywhere else to get them. They also sell their bushings individually for each application or you can buy the whole kit and do everything like I am doing.
