    Before u upgrade anything. U should make sure everything is functioning properly. Always use good oil. Change at its proper intervals. New plugs and wires. I wouldn't worry about coils unless your having issues. Check air filter replace if needed. Also I would use some carb cleaner. Check for any bad vacuum lines. I would remove you air ideal assist valve and clean it and the bore hole out. Also a tranny flush and filter wouldn't hurt at them miles. As for coolant upgrade to me tel elbows and flush system and use green or yellow. Forget that red crap. Check your motor mounts. That's just some of the things I recommend you do to your care as some preventive maintenance.

    you also have lower engine and trans mounts that just wear out.

    You were good up untill you said a flush, dont do flushes on transmissions that didn't have it at regularly done. You can drop the trans pan with a new filter and 8 quarts of fluid. Which should be done every 50k or less.
