Sounds like you have it mostly covered - it should indeed corner like a beast! I'd also replace the rear bushing on the front control arms with poly replacements. The front bushing don't seem to wear much and you need a press to replace them. Definitely do the ball joints. The rear suspension has bushings on the panhard rod and such you can take a look at, but they don't seem to wear much either. Probably an alignment wouldn't hurt after all this even though it technically shouldn't alter the geometry (it still will a bit). You might want to install the adjustable camber bolts so you can be sure to get everything to spec, and the guys on the performance board might have some camber tweaks that would still be street friendly.
While you're firming things up, this would be a great time to do the motor mounts and trans mounts if they're not fresh (they really do make the car a lot tighter). While you've got the wheels off, flushing the brake fluid is always a good idea, and some stainless lines and performance pads might be a nice treat too if you're looking for more to do.
