So, issues I'm looking to solve:

-In reverse on nearly full lock, there's a clicking sound from front right. I'm guessing upper control arms?

-Right Rear strut leaking

-Occasionally the windows will randomly drop all the way, sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes both

I currently have 19" on there and the car is my DD so looking for like-stock height and comfort, but I'm sure any newer suspension will provide that. I heard that the 01-04 S suspension is compatible and an upgrade - any thoughts on this? Is a full suspension replacement even necessary at this mileage, or can (should) I just get away with replacing the rear struts?

As far as other parts to replace, any suggestions - bushings, control arms, etc?

And the window issue, any idea what this could be?
