I'm at a 190,000+ miles and with all of the original suspension parts, except front ball joints. Just got 4 new Michelins and figured that I should do something with the suspension. I do 99% highway/country road driving. Not interested in lifting the vehicle. From reading posts, I'm considering these two options and wanted input:

Option 1
2 Bilstein 139168 front shocks ($200)
2 Bilstein 139175 rear shocks ($160)
2 Moog 81144 front coils ($160)
Professional coil compression service ($70)

Total $590

Option 2
2 Monroe 171577 front Quick Struts ($300)
2 Bilstein 139175 rear shocks ($160)

Total $460

Also, should the rear coils be replaced with the rear shocks, and is there anything else suspension-related that I should be doing?

That's what I put on mine. I like them. A little better ride all around. shockwarehouse.com is where I got mine. $349.00 for the set but I'm not sure about the shipping.

Waynes, did you replace your coils or just the shocks?
