Shocks, struts and springs

I have a 2008 Bullitt, has 75,000 miles and is my daily driver. I don't track or race, just spirited driving when the opporunity arises. For the record, I used to be sdsguy on here but I couldn't remember my password or email I used so starting fresh.

I went on American Muscle and added these to my cart:
SR Lowering Springs
KYB Shocks and Struts
Eibach Pro-alignment camber adjustment bolts
and a Panhard bar (waiting for the SR to come back in stock, seeing as how it's $40 less than others and seems good)

Any feedback on what else I'm missing? Recommendations on a better set up in that price range? The cart (with the SR panhard bar) is about $570. I don't have the available tools or space where I live to do anything, so I'd have to get it done. My mechanic quoted $500, normally I would just take it to him but he's been kinda sketch lately so I'm having second thoughts about going to him. I also called two Ford dealerships, one quoted labor at $800, another close to $1200. How much should the labor be for this?

This looks great! Those mods will be really great for your Mustang. A good ol' Suspension overhaul is much needed!

I think you're going to be really happy with this set up. Let me know if you have any questions or need some assistance in the near future!

I'm selling a set of FPP K-Springs for $160 shipped, if you're interested in those. They came off From Z to 5's car. I decided I didn't want to go that low with my driveway and roads around here though...
