For handling:
Bushings.
Bushings.
Bushings.
These things wear out and crack and become really loose and sloppy, allowing the suspinsion components to move where they arn't suppose to, which makes the car handle loose and sloppy.

LCA bushings make a nice difference, bal joints, rear trailing arm(bitch to replace), rear shock mounts, and even your sway bushings.

Then: Shocks shocks shocks. Get some fresh ones.


Yah, microfilter for your AC system, Airfilter for engine (you know that duh), replace your diff fluid and tranny fluid(and filter).

A nice radiator flush is good preventive matinence. Fuel filter is relitively simple and cheep to replace. Run some fuel injector cleaner through a tank that's low on gas to give the engine a little cleanout too.

Sparks, windshield wiper blades, if you've got $200 laying around, your o2 sensors.

Bleed your brakes, even better would be to do a full brakeline flush with a pressure bleeder and a diferent color brakefluid to know that you've fully bled the lines for each caliper.
Preformance brake pads (not track, preformance street like Hawk HPS [they take about 3 35mph stops to get up to decent oporating temps and really start biting and after that they are amazing. {that's normal, preformance brakes don't work until the rotors get warm}])

New rotors for front and back (if you have grooves or they arn't thick enough, replace them.)

Adjust your parking brakes.

Replace driveline guibo.

Rain-x dude... Rain-x all your exterior glass and mirrors... Pimp.
