Then get the black Porsche calipers. The wife will be less likely to notice.
When she comments that the car seems to have shrunk some, say "they settle
like that after a while." When my car started (ahem) scraping on speed
bumps, the wife said "you need to have Dave look into that." I didn't
mention that Dave was the guy that installed the parts that *caused* it. :)

And besides, most of this is regular scheduled maintenance, not upgrades,
right? Isn't there a "regular scheduled maintenance" list on urs4.com? Yep,
found it. http://www.urs4.com/technical_index.htm. Everything but the actual
interval, which is specified simply as when:

bank balance = cost of upgrade + 10%

You can substitute "available credit" for "bank balance" in that equation.
