The parts I was warned about on the Mazda forum was to ensure the provided bushings are properly greased or suffer from I think clunking noises.

Clunking is a natural result of using aftermarket sway bars My experience with lubing poly bushings is that they collect road dirt and wear out faster. I no longer use any lube on my bushings.
I wouldn't grease them. My experience is that they should last more than a year.Also, expect your end links to be "consumables". They wear, and even a small amount of play is a prime cause of clunking sounds.
Now I know many will say stop fussing about car setup and get some seat time. I agree seat time needs to stay top of my list for next year. But ultimately I feel I can push myself to gain the resources I need to do everything I have planned minus the Koni yellows. I really want to come out the gate swinging next season and use my H-Street PAX to full advantage. I will definitely be planning for the autocross school as well to help me sharpen that loose nut behind the wheel too. I am really looking forward to next season and fighting hard for a spot in the top 20 PAX.
Also I believe if you change to slotted rotors you will no longer be in stock anyways... I am curious of this cause I would like to look at differnt brakes as we did experience some good brake fade today.
Well decided to spend my day pouring over the last item I wanted to investigate/change on my car before next season, brakes. ***snip***
