Once I drove it - it settled. I think the ride height was a result of just it sitting for so long and then me jacking the frame up. After a quick drive it looks much more normal. But once all the basic items are done suspension refresh is next. Lowering springs and bilsteins are in the plan.

Car is still running fine, notice that under hard braking there's a little wobble, which I think is probably from just rotors that have been sitting for a while, but occasionally there's definitely a clunk from the front end. What are the suspension parts on this car that usually break down and that I need to go through and refresh?

Front balljoints. They can snap.

Rear wheel knuckle bushing always wears out

rubber hoses (radiator...ect)
Engine mounts.
Flush braking system
steering damper
if you have time and a press, rear mount bushings
check all fuel break lines for pinholes or rust
Drop bumpers, removes taillights and inspect for rust
Have fun

Front ball joints on order, I love how cheap these parts are compared to my other cars. I got a pair of the Lemforder for 30 bucks. You can’t get ANYTHING for 40 bucks for my 911.

I also went ahead and ordered the bilsteins and the lowering springs all around. The suspension doesn’t bounce but I don’t love the floating.
