Default 125K miles - any good preventative maintenance

2000 A4 1.8t runs great....I am putting on some bilstein sport shocks in the next week or so along with an h&r rear sway...while they have her up on the lift, any suggestions of other things to replace? Control Arms??? I don't want to take it in only to find out a week later than I need something else swapped out. Also, any suggestions of reputable shops in the Cleveland area. Freddy Baker has been great, but $$$$$$.

Currently lowered with 17" rims, I'm tired of bottoming out, hence the new shocks, hope it works!!!

I'd only do control arms if you're having issues. My lower left went out at 138k

Good advice - I'd have the vac tubing checked and replaced

Default Rear sway bar uplinks.

The stock ones are plastic. Get some metal ones on there.
