Sanity check please did I get everything I need for my suspension upgrade?

they can be used with both

radial bearings serve the same purpose and are more expensiv solution

Alright then it sounds like I don't need to get the thrust washers since I ordered radial bearings when I got my coilovers built.

I'll be sure to post pictures in my build log as I start working on it. My plan is oil change this weekend and my undertray I purchased as well (got tired of pulling the plastic tray off). Then z1 collars, sway bar, and end links next weekend. Weekend after that I'm scheduled to drop my car off for it's yearly ceramic coating maintenance and detailing and maybe my custom carbon fiber steering wheel will be in. Then the next weekend I'll do the suspension and then get it aligned. Then at some point this summer I'm planning on doing a full fluid flush, diff cover, intakes, and a tune then I think I'm done for a while.

100% agree better to do the suspension stuff all at once.
