I'm assuming that the rear suspension is live-axle, with coil-overs, and I'm hoping it also has rear disc brakes. Is this all standard, or do I need to check?

Has all 3. The pistons in the rear calipers on my 03 were froze up, so no.rear brakes. Check 'em and maybe you can get the car a little cheaper.

live-axle: Yes, standard equipment

coil-overs: No, not unless someone changed them to coil overs.

rear disc brakes: Yes, standard equipment
