Rick our cars are similar, mine is 98 w/98k and west coast driven. I recently changed the struts, Rears were in surprisingly good shape, 1 bad front, it had lost it's precharge but was not visibly leaking. With everything disassembled I inspected the lower control arms and they are still fine. I had replaced the rear upper control arms previously. The drop links were all shot and replaced at 78k. I upgraded the sway bars and replaced the bushings at 85k. At 100k I think you will need similar. As an FIO the struts are the most expensive and require the most disassembly, labor and tools. All other parts even the LCAs are bolt on and can be changed easily at a later date but an alignment will be required.
