My shocks were not up to snuff around that mileage so I went ahead and did a fairly comprehensive refresh. I replaced the front control arms/bushings with M3 units and installed the Bilstein B12 Prokit which contains Bilstein sport dampers tailored to Eibach springs. The ride quality and handling with these upgrades is absolutely top notch and feels about 10-15 percent firmer than a stock sport suspension. I will never again replace shocks on this car as they last essentially forever (1,000,000mi. guarantee). I have a car with well over 200k on a set and they are flawless as far as I can tell.
Other than that, maybe some interior trim items need a refresh? Just detail it and enjoy it, these cars are phenomenal.
