Default New Member got question

Hi

I live in Atlanta, GA. Just bought my life time dream 05 Super V8.
Car has 100k miles on it and I want to do tune up to enjoy this ride for a long time. I want to do below things.Please let me know if I overlooked anything or maybe you thing that some things are unnecessary. I looked through threads and I could find some answers but for some I couldn't find answers.
All this I will be doing myself. I am pretty handy. I have also 03 Land Rover Disco.

I want to do:
- Serpentine belt
- Timing belt
- Supercharger belt
- Oil & filter
- Maf sensor clean
- Cabin air filter

- Transmission flush (As many people are pro as against)
- Brake system flush (probably never done in a past)
- Cooling system flush (Not sure if necessary - No overheating)
- Spark plugs (Platinum or Iridium, Bosch or NGK)?
- Brake rotors & pads (Vin Chassis G35129, I got problem finding right rotors / pads. Most suppliers offer one for VIN49701 and higher. I definitely want ceramic cause black dust is killing me)

Thanks for all suggestions.
The most important answer from me is about the brakes. What brand (I am trying to stay in low budget)

Sincerely
kozdi

Welcome to the forum,

Good to have you with us.
You should post up your questions in the tech section, you will get a much better response.

If you haven't already done so you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

Welcome to the forum.

Good to see you.

Many good brands of brake pads available, but the tech section will help you out.

Different dust outputs etc.

Looks like you are on top of the maintenance.
