Seems like a pretty comprehensive list there.
Maybe add tie rod ends, depending on the condition of the ones you have. |

Ball joints if needed.
No point in doing the bushes unless needed or your planning on changing them all to urethane - in which case get a Nolathane Evo kit. Dare I ask why your doing all this? Surely only do what's needed unless your upgrading something? |

There is a big labour and hassle saving in doing everything at once. You only need one wheel alignment too. When you do everything separately you needs multiples of wheel alignments. You may need a camber kit too.
Also use new wheel bearings, seals, grease, split-pin in your new rotors. Plus, if you're keen, replace all the nylock nuts, because the nylon doesn't grip so well the more they are screwed and unscrewed.

i just changed my front end after the car doing 123000 kms i did all the front bushes with nolathane bushes. new shocks and ball joints now the front is so tight in cornering you cant feel any body roll at all exept the rear following the front after so i advise you to do the rear as well
