I have owned over 20 of these vehicles over the years plus numerous original 1994 - 8 3.0 and the mini facelifts also.
The pedal "travel" varies from car to car as does the pressure req to stop regardless of bleeding etc....the biggest variable is make of front brake pad with the oe jurid "gold dust" pads giving best feel and lowest pressure ,trade club and pagid/ate somewhere in the middle and trade club depending on whether the are made in india or Poland requiring higher pressure.
Second biggest variable is making sure your rear pads are not partially seized in the caliper,this also leads to increased pedal travel....
Would not rec rebuilding your m cy, it will not make a jot of difference, spend 70 pounds on some oe jurid pads from vx.....

Oe are best but expensive although give x 2 life of tc pads.Tc are good allround but dusty and lack initial bite from cold.Pagid have good bite from cold but are dusty and wear out fast approx 12 k for the fronts....take your choice

It's the pulley bearings that fail not the belt. 4years and 21k will be fine for quite some time, I would suggest 8 yrs or 40k which ever comes first.

Don't recommend you use NON GM SPARK PLUGS.
Manual Gearbox oil is special gm oil although some say its just dex 3 atf.
The lsd rear diff need a tube of gm friction mod (£3.00 from gm dealer) added to the fresh oil or you can buy diff oil for lsd diffs from Fuchs and Silkoline etc.
