Default Tune Up @ 270 000km

What do you usually have to change on the car at this mileage?

So far, the list of things to do are: (getting done at the end of March)
- Shocks
- Springs
- Bushings
- Bolts for the shocks
- Upper Tables
- Front Disc
- Pads all around
- Adjust e-brake (fix the left side, it's currently seized)

Things done recently: (Not even a month ago)
- Balljoints
- Axles
- Radiator

Things to do at 285 000 (End of May)
- Timing Belt
- Water Pump

Is there anything else I should consider replacing?

Bare in mind I want the car to be completely fine, mechanically speaking, I'll end up selling / trading it for an Integra before next winter.

Why do you need shocks, springs, bolts for the shocks, pads and all of that stuff? The stock Honda suspension on the Accord is designed to last the life of the car. The pads dont need changing unless they are finished or close to finishing. You dont just change it at a mileage just because it is at that mileage.

The timing belt and water pump are definitely important to do at 175k miles (285k km). Adjusting the e-brake shouldn't be that hard. If you are planning to sell the car, you wont get back the money for all that maintenance that you are putting into it. The timing belt and water pump is still important though.

My shocks are dead.

And the bolts will probably snap once I remove them, so new ones are already there just in case that happens.

Brakes are almost finished as well.
