Noisy because they're old or noisy because they're not greased?
I haven't heard a single squeak or clunk from mine...
J-speeds being more solid would theoretically increase NVH.

MSR was saying the caster correction kit is a great mod... in fact he said its the best one you can do, not including sway bars of course. I think ill do that one too.

I just got priced up to do anti lift kit lower front, lower rear bushes, front sway bar 22mm fixed and FSB end links.
It'll be $600ish for everything installed.

Yeah I do.
The front left rear bush is worn which is why I thought it'd be a good time to jump on everything else.
It'll be a good improvement

I dont think ill do the front sway bar... i dont like the idea of the car understeering on corner entry... i know ive bought an AWD car, but i like the idea of the car oversteering hahaha

Lots of forum members have the same thought process as you.
Get identical cars, one with both upgraded sway bars and one with just the rear, the car with both sway bars will out-corner the other.

You're lucky, i would've done the front sway ages ago if it was possible to install them on the H6 without dropping the headers.
Have you been quoted for any of this work yet??
