Default Just tripped 50K miles. What will I need....

....to start worrying about? I will be getting a RAM clutch in a few weeks or a month so that will be taken care of. I also know I need some shocks.

Brake pads have already beben replaced.

I need to address the window motors or swap to manual windows; but I have not found out if that is even possible.

Any suggestions on what to go ahead and replace/upgrade to avoid any disasters?

Why would you need shocks already? I've got 84k on my 95 Formula and the original shocks and springs are still in great shape. I bet they'll go 150k easily.

I noticed that if I have someone push down one one side of the car (front or rear) that the other side raises almost 1/2". I also have more nose dive under braking than I used to.
Also, my favorite on-ramp loop is harder to take at speed the last few times I tried it.....maybe it was something else, but shocks came to mind first.
Anyone else?
