Alex, at 60K mi you want to replace the coolant, otherwise refer to your owners manual for things you need to take care of. No need to replace spark plugs before 100K, waiste of $.

i got about 10K mi on it now, no problems with brakes...Norris Acura is charging 240 for a pair of Brembo pads, online is like 140. Where did you get yours and for how much?
Dont get GM fluid unless your car has a problem with popping out 3rd gear. I had a few occasions, and the dealer put in an updated manual tranny fluid instead, totally cured the problem.
