Congrats on the Aero. You are going to love the car. :-)
As Marvin said, some people think the Bilsteins are too stiff, but if you know what you are getting into you will love the handling. I strongly recommend getting the SAS sway bars if you are already doing suspension upgrades. Probably the single best upgrade to these cars. IMO. The front rear wishbone bushings are ones that would also improve the ride a lot.
Before replacing the linkage do a linkage alignment (do a search on here for yaofengs procedure). It is simple and quick and if the parts are working well it will fix your hunting for 5th problem. Like Marvin said, I second looking at the motor mounts as well and the transmission mount. You can also look at the linkage if you look between the firewall and engine between the battery and middle of the car and see if that is worn out. I also recommend Nicks short shifter as Rich said. It is really nice and really well made and makes a huge difference in the feel.
You should get it cleaned up and post some pictures.
Good luck and welcome to the board.
Chris
