Sounds like you have actually thought this out and done the proper mods to the suspension system but I do have one query, Did you swap to power steering? I hope so because the newer wheels have a lot more width to them thus more rubber sitting still on pavement making it harder to turn sitting still. This will drastically affect life of tie rods, ball joints and front suspension connecting pins. If you did not then I would suggest moderately over inflating the front tires. YES they will wear out faster but they will harden, expand a little more in the center tread and reduce the friction on the ground. Sounds to me like you are 80% there. Good luck and happy motoring.
