looking forward to all your input!

I'd recommend just inspecting all the components to make sure theyre all in good condition.
I just purchased a set of Koni shock/struts in the fronts, ONLY because my front struts were leaking oil so I figured they need to be replaced anyway, why not upgrade to the best. If it wasn't for the struts leaking, I would have left them alone and put the money elsewhere. Many guys have 120k+ miles still on original parts for their suspension, don't assume that it's all beat up just because it's 100k+.
