W210 E300 Suspension Rebuild & etc. Input?

Hey guys,
Been a while since posting anything here, but I thought this warranted attention. I have discovered that my LCA busings are totally shot (vibration, swaying and clunking). I pried on the front LCA busings and the wheels and tires would move in and out substantially. So I know that at the very least a replacement of the LCA busings are in order. As long as I am under the car I plan on the following:
Complete front and rear suspension rebuild -
H&R Front and Rear Springs w/new spring insulators
H&R Front and Rear Sway bars (If Todd at TM Engineering in Carson, CA will ship them to me).
KONI FSD Front and Rear (to replace original shocks)
KMAC Front Camber/Caster Kit
New Upper Control Arms (front)
New Tie rods and ends (front)
New Ball Joints (front)
New Spring Link w/bushing (rear)
New control arm set (rear)
New adjustable camber arms (rear)
New subframe bushings (rear)
New Motor Mounts
New Battery (chasing oil level and coolant level sensor gremlins)
Coolant Flush
Complete Brake system rebuild -
ATE slotted rotors (front & rear)
Parking brake rebuild
Akebono front & rear pads
Stainless Steel Braided lines
ATE Super Blue fluid (after flush)
Has anyone here installed the KMAC front comber/caster kit on the W210? If so why are two bushings skewed and the others just eccentric, and which go where?
Has anyone here ordered from TM Engineering in Carson, CA? How long do they take for order fulfillment? I can't wait too much longer.
I plan on taking about two days to accomplish all of the above. Then taking the car in for alignment, coolant flush and any remaining testing and diagnostics.
I've viewed some of the online DIYs and it seems like most of these can be done within a two day period. Any suggestions, comments, rude remarks?

It's a car not a science experiment! Open the throttle!
