Default Some suspension help :)

I had a wierd squeek every time i went over a bump for the last few months but havent had a chance to fix it yet. now the squeek is gone and every about 30-50 feet its a clunk sound. comes from the front of the car.
Ive already replaced the rear,lca's,panhard, and torque arm so now its time for some front end loving.

Im gonna do new brakes/rotors on the front, and have someone check out what is going on in the suspension. What would be worthwhile replacing while I am in there that wouldnt cost me an arm and a leg. i was thinking maybe springs/shocks and lower the car im not too sure. car just hit 80k miles
