Question just hit 100K

Okay this is my first Camaro 2000 Z28. I just happen to hit 100,000 ( mostly highway miles) miles and was hoping what are some tips on checking?? Like wha need to be done to maintain well. Because i always maintain it but just recently had a full tune up at 90k ( got the car at 87k), plus i always change oil and wash my filter every 3k miles. I'm also planing to change my shocks and struts. Any recommendations on the shocks and struts??? I want it to ride smooth like im riding on air. Please reply back asap. Thanks.

you have the wrong car if you want it to feel like you are riding on air....lol

I would consider a Cadillac El Dorado or something along those lines.

No. Just give it a tune up. Belts, hoses, fuel filter, coolant etc... And check your front end parts for play.

those shocks will make the car ride like night and day compared to the crappy de carbon shocks you probably have on there now
