I'd suggest a set of wishbone / camber bolts as these get a bit of abuse and probably overtightened a few times

many choices available but I'd buy oem Mazda for the qc (same price as aftermarket?) or the cheaper option of high-tensile Allen bolts & nyloc nuts and forget the fixed eccentric washers

+1 for camber bolts - if it's not been apart for a while you will probably break them taking it all apart...

I'd also probably wire brush down the wishbones etc while it's all apart and give everything a coat of decent paint, much easier to do off the car than on!
