1987 300E with 202K and squeaks

Just thought I'd ask what could be done for the suspension. It rides well and is in fine order but there are noisy squeaks at the rear shocks/ springs. The shocks have been replaced but don't know how long ago. The boots look fine but it doesn't mean they aren't shot. However, the ride is decent. Could be my old CE had shot shocks too so I dont really know. Do I need new shocks and if so what's a good source for them? I was considering a four corner set of springs and shocks with seventeen inch rims but it seems expensive for a car with such high miles. The car is extremely well maintained and has great get up and go. It's a pristine example.
Even though I do prefer the CE since it's got a lower roof-line and seems to have a bit longer wheelbase the four-door is more sensible. My two sons are just getting bigger every day. The car is just a stop-gap for me but I'd like to make it stick to the road more than it currently does.

Thanks for any and all advice.

Jason
