Im planning on removing my rear subframe to clean and treat all the components. The subframe was new in 2007 so I just want to sandblast it and re-coat it along with the radius arms, it shouldn't need replacing.

I'll be placing an order online and I'd like the order to have arrived before I start work so that I'm not wasting any time, but I'm not fully sure what to order yet.

I was planning on replacing the suspension cones all round and 2 rear shock absorbers while I'm at it (front ones have been recently done)

What are the "might aswell replace while the subframe is off" components (if that makes sense...)

I'm planning to buy either just bushes or bolts and bushes, I'll have to see what condition the bolts are in (hopefully they were new in 2007)
I understand the copper brake hoses might kink or break but I can get these from a parts shop 5 minutes away so I'll get these only if I need them.

What other parts should I look at buying?

Check you quadrants and pins to see if they are in good order.

Check the play in the radius arm pins. Changing them is much easier with the subframe clean and on a bench.
