I will never forgive myself for having a set of those wheels and selling them... So stupid of me.
As far as the engine, just plugs and plug wires are all that's needed. The coils and sensors should only be replaced upon failure.
Suspension is anyone's guess, I've always been dumb there. I'm in the middle of freshening mine up too and would love to know which parts to order.

Mobil 1 recently.Cars getting the front bumper resprayed due to rock chips.Then it will be near perfect.My fog light lenses are a bit cloudy so might replace with depot clear or bosch lenses with some hid kit for the fogs.The Voght springs and the b2 sports w/no1 pads are a perfect stance.Your coilovers look great though
