'01 Aero:
front brakes at 72k akebono/zimmerman
rear brakes at 77k akebono/brembo
this of course will vary widely depending on where you live, and how you drive.
I got the rotors from eeuroparts.com, the pads from rockauto.com
NOTE: Zimmerman's are more expensive than Brembo's (all things being equal). The the Zimmermans show surface rust on all non-contact parts of the rotor. the Brembos don't. not a big deal but you can see it through my BBS Wheels. Of course YMMV. I will go with Brembos next time.
Serp belt & pulleys: I do them the belt and all 3 pulleys every 60k. Could be overkill for the belt and the larger pulleys. But you absolutely need to replace the small crappy plastic idler pulley every 60k.
I prefer the long belt.
I replace the tensioner every 120k.
Tires: I rotate them every 3-5k. Mine are directional and I rotate and flip them on the rim every 15k.
