Regular Maintanence Questions

I jus passed 60k.. and figured i should go around and change all that i havent changed.
What should i do for regular maintanence and or wat to look for to see that car is doing good.
I had planned on changing :
Tranny fluid and filter
fuel filter
Air Filter (K&N)
Front shocks (mine are shot)
Rear end - put new stuff in it?...

Ive already done plugs and wires and PCV valve , flushed the coolant system.

Anyways i gotta a few xtra bucks and thot it might be a good time to jus get everything up to snuff and b ready for the coming winter.

My questions are... wat else should i change or take a look at... wat stuff to use when i change wat i am changing.. and any performance stuff that can be done while doin this stuff..

this has sprouted an idea for a possible tech article?.. maintanence schedules

Thanks

The cloyes double roller is a timing chain.

The regular maintainance stuff is all covered in my "major tuneup" post.
