Default Shock/Spring advise

Approaching the 74K mi mark and getting some really back squeaking from front and rear suspension ... time for some replacments I guess. Don't really track anymore; looking for the "best value" for a daily driver with some decent handling. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Stock replacements and Bilstein HDs would work well if you don't want to lower it at all.

If you're getting squeaks front and rear, I'd start looking into all of the bushings that probably need replacing.

HDs and bushings will most likely take care of the problems. If you want a lower stance you could throw in some springs too, and since you just want a budget replacement setup and are not looking for crazy handling, I woudln't worry about revalves or Koni's. Would be better, but not necessary in your case.
