Default 100k Mile Tune-up

My Z06 is coming up on 100,000 miles this year and I'm putting a list together. Wanted to see if i'm missing anything or what you would advise. I've owned the car since 30k miles. Maintenance has been brakes and new vararam air filter only.

-Coolant flush
-Plugs/Wires
-Trans fluid
-Diff fluid
-Brake Fluid
-New Belt
-New harmonic balance

I've noticed some drive-train movement and inconsistent clutch engagement so was planning to also go through the below. Was wondering if any items seemed overkill

- New clutch and throw-out bearing(LS6, LS7, aftermarket not sure)
- Turn/New flywheel
- New master/slave (ls6 or go aftermarket? I see references to remote bleeders)
- New driveshaft Giubo
- Motor, Transmission, and Diff mounts. OEM rubber if available otherwise poly

Lastly the car is starting to feel a bit loose with too much body role. Not included in the tuneup but would like to get coilovers and poly suspension bushings shortly after the above.
