Default 60k maintenance?

I'm about to reach 60k and for the most part have been neglecting the S Besides the typical oil/tranny/diff fluid changes, what else is recommended? My pads are fine and rotors slightly warped, but tolerable. No need to bleed brakes too, as the pedal feels really solid and I figure I'll wait to the next track day to worry about the brake system.

Anything else I should note?

With that said, I'm looking on handa for the bolts/washers, and notice they don't sell the bolts anymore for oil/tranny/diff? Anyone happen to have those handy or know of a place other than the dealership to get these?

Thanks!

That's pretty much all i would do and inspect the whole car in general to see if theres any worn parts. As far as bolts go, you can go with aftermarket ones with magnets, stick with oem or just reuse your stock ones.

Hope that helps

any suggestions on where to find aftermarket bolts? my oem ones have been used for many changes and i wouldn't trust them to stay around for more changes since they're getting stripped.

There are plenty of vendors that sell Mugen, Spoon, etc bolts.

Your OEM bolts should last the lifetime of the car. Mine have 140k miles on them.

and I'm pretty sure the valves are also going to be out of adjustment if they haven't been done yet.

I did my valves at 30k and they were out of spec, I also did plugs as well due to oil blow by fowling.
At 60k with auto x and track days I would also think about the radiator fluid and clutch fluid.
Make sure none of your rubber boots are torn or have cracks. They should be fine though.
