Front End

I have an 01 GTP 2 dr. on which the front end creeks horribly. I recently put 20" wheels on it instead of the stock 16". I bought the car with around 130,000 and it's now at almost 200,000. It was lowered when I got the car I want to say 2 or 3 inches. I am wanting to go through the front end. I plan on replacing the a arms and struts. So here are my questions.
1. If you were going to "re-do" your front end, what all would you replace besides a arms and struts?
2. Is there a special kind of strut such as adjustable ones that I might need since the car is lowered?
3. Forgive me for this one, but i am in the noob questions - I can find lower a arms, but not upper ones...
4. Any specific brands or retailers you prefer and why?
 


We dont have upper control arms, this is GM lol.

You can buy lower control arms, new struts and sway bar links. Moog or dorman are good for control arms and links.

If you are lowered, I'm assumng they just used lowering springs, so you have a few choices on struts. Most go with KYB GR2 or something of that quality.
 
The only other thing up front you could change is wheel bearing and tierods but i'd inspect them first.
