All of the following should be checked, but not necessarily replaced. Also check transaxle gear oil and replace with only GL4 (NOT GL5 or GL4/5). Check PCV valve. Check cv boots, exhaust, suspension.

The coils are probably fine. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.[

Chek the air filter, fuel filter, and all fluids & belts. I would check the spark plugs as mentioned by someone else.
