I will be changing all 4 shock absorbers & changings the springs to 40mm. I've had a few people saying change the bottom arms aswell? what else should i replace while i'm doing it.

Thanks in advance

yeah just one that sits into the strut top itself.
if you are changing the bottom arms and track rod ends change the antiroll bar links too as (if you havant already changed them) they'll be soon t break no doubt.
when changing the track rod ends take the track rod off from the centre of the rack, and then remove the track rod end whilst the track rod is off, and held in a vice, much easier imo. take care not to damage the retaining clip that sits over the bolts securing the track rods to the rack as you need to put that back on.
