I have a complete 4 bolt DSM rear subframe and suspension I am swapping over. The more parts I round up, I have decided I might as well do things properly while its all apart. I plan do disassemble everything, sand blast what ever will fit in the cabinet, and sand the rest by hand. Then I am going to paint everything I re-use with POR-15. I want to replace every wear item, except struts and brakes. Here is what I have or plan on buying

-BoostX mustache and subframe bushings
-Energy Suspension 1g master kit
-DIY rear upper camber arms via dsmtuners faq

Parts from Rock Auto
- SKF rear inner wheel bearing x2 click
- SKF or Timken outer wheel bearing x2 (SKF is cheaper, any reason not too?) click
- Moog sway bar links x2 click
- Raybestos premium ball joints x2 click

I just found out about the DIY upper arms, and they seem like the way to go. I need the adjustability, and like the idea of a heim joint on one end. Any downsides I'm missing? Also, I would like to end up with a Whiteline rear sway bar, but not sure if funds will permit at this point. Should I be adding anything else to my wish list? Or should I change anything?

Didn't read the closest so I don't know if you listed it but I'd delete the passive rear toe. You don't have to get the Jay racing eliminator. There is a FAQ on getting washers welded in to delete it.

Cool, I will definitely look into it. I saw the kit from Jay Racing, but it was a little to pricey for me. I do hate understeer!

Edit: After researching more, I'm probably going to try and buy the kit from Jay Racing. I hope the $1000 I'm going to have invested in the rear subframe makes a nice difference.

Rear camber arms I suggest piña motorsports. I have bought from them before and they have great customer service and make excellent products.
