Anyone care to move this to the Backyard Mechanic or Warranty/Service/Repair section?

Anyway, along with the timing belt, (as mentioned) have the water pump, coolant hoses, and all belts changed, but add to that list the timing belt tensioner (if it's not part of the kit), front camshaft seals (no, the cams do not need to be removed to do it) and if you're really ambitious, the front crank seal.
The timing belt job isn't fun, and if not done right, it can cause all kinds of headaches or ruin the engine. It's not your typical do-it-yourself job, but a few have tackled it successfully. There are posts about how to do it to be found here.

Shock options have been extensively discussed in the suspension section. Bilsteins seem to get the best feedback.
