Default Timing belt change question???

Okay, so I'm doing my timing belt change soon. My car has 96k kms on it--I called the dealer and they said timing belt should be done at 144k kms. My next big service interval is at 126k kms. They would change my plugs, air filter, serpentine belt and do a tuneup. 20k after they would do the timing belt. anyhow, I want to get everything in advance and just wanted to know what u guys think I should get for this service interval that Im performing myself. I dont know if I need the timing belt update kit because my car has it already(should I just change the belt?). also someone said to change the waterpump, get an EFK, snubmount, and unorthodox under drive pulley.

Can anyone drop some feedback?

given all the horror stories, I'd do the timing belt and tensioner at 60K miles (100K km).
