As for suspension, KYB makes quick struts, about $120 per piece @ Rockauto. I can dig up the part #'s if you want as I remember they don't just list it for the 97-03 but they're there... good price considering it only takes 5 bolts and the entire strut, spring, strut mount combo is replaced. No need for spring compressors, no putting nice new struts in worn mounts then wondering why the suck! Lol... It's a worthy investment.
