Curious if there is anything else in the suspension that might need replacing while I'm in there. Car is an 01 z06 with 67k

Yep. I assume it is a street car so you'd likely want polys instead of monoball. I'd also get a camlock kit.

It's a daily driver / hpde car so I'd like to stay away from poly bushings... What's a camlock kit?

What about the DRM rack bushing?

I don't know anyone that has run the steering rack bushings but I don't think DRM sells any fluff. I've talked to Doug and he is a solid guy. I know pfadt used to sell a camber kit because I have one but I couldn't find it on their website.

Pfadt discontinued the camber kit.
