Default Signs of bad suspension????

What are some signs I need to notice if I have worn/bad suspension....besides the bbk lowering springs and shocks....the car's suspenion is stock...Im in the focus of upgrading my suspension but im not sure where to start....the only things i've noticed with my car is that...sometimes when accelerating from a stop...I hear a light "clunk" sound from under the car...not sure where but the car already has a good trans and new clutch and aluminum driveshaft....and the car doesnt drive good at all on bumps...and doesnt do good launches from a stop anymore...im thinking of upper and lower control arms...am I going in the right direction???

I have a similar noise but have yet to get under the car and look but I am thinking maybe rear sway bar or control arm bushings.
