[Roadsters] Front suspension rebuild thoughts

Since the list has been so quiet, let me post this question to get some dialog going in anticipation of spring...

I think that I am going to rebuild my front suspension this spring. I would like people's thoughts on what should be replaced and what seals, etc I should have on hand. And what might not necessarily need to be replaced. 

I already have new koni shocks, front bearings, and lower ball joints. I might go ahead and buy upper ball joints just to have as much new stuff as possible so as to not have to deal with the front end again. I will also put new tires on once the suspension is done. 

I will also be putting on newly rebuilt front brakes--new calipers, shoes, and lines.

I will have help from someone who has all the tools necessary.

Any thoughts, experiences, do's and don'ts? 

Thanks!!!
