Now being but a humble studyent...I'm debating whether to get the suspension of the 100,000 mile Focus replaced since it's rolling fairly heavily in the corners now. What particularly would be the best components to replace, and what SHOULD I expect to pay?

Possibly time for new dampers/shock absorbers at 100k, but have you noticed a deterioration, or just have a hunch.

Have a look at the thread

If it is over 3years old, you could always invest in an early MOT to double check diagnosis. I would beware of going to a fastfit place to obtain diagnosis
