100k Mile Service - Doin' it Right

Looks about right. I'd also consider belts, hoses and start replacing suspension parts like A-arm bushings, ball joints, rod ends & sway bar bushings/links.

I never really bought off on the throttle body/injector cleaning, but at 85k, I had it done. Made a difference.
 
...but I'd really like to hear from others regarding suspension components. We probably have urethane bushings which last longer than rubber but are more stiff and I'm sure can get brittle over time resulting in loose and sloppy handeling and comfort.
Between 80-100k, I begin swapping all the bushings, bearings, rod ends, ball joints, sway links, belts and hoses out, before they go. Our suspension is easy to work on and, with the exception of the realignment, can be done in the garage over a weekend. A great running engine in a sloppy driving car doesn't work for me.
