I just bought myself a new to me 2002 9-3SE 4 door with 58,000 1 owner documented garaged miles! The car just had a new flex pipe, front rotors and pads and a bypass hose replaced along with an oil change. All oil changes since new are documented between 3 to 5k apart.

Questions are, with the car being 13 years old and with 58,000 miles what would you recommend I do at the 60,000 mile mark? Im planning on the following:

Full trans flush with fully synthetic Redline ATF
Oil pan drop and inspection, oil change
Plugs
Air filter "if it needs one"
Coil pack and keep the original in the truck

I want to also upgrade the suspension, I don't want to really lower it but want to firm it up. New shocks / struts and probably springs and bump stops, Ill have to do some reading about what combo works the best without lowering it much if at all.

It has new Cooper brand all season tires on it, Ill probably track down a like new set of wheels and put a better more summer oriented tire on them and keep these for winter and cold weather driving but for the most part it will be a garage queen when the snow and salt start coming down.

Let me know what you think!!!!! I love it, Ive been looking for one for quite a while!!
