Battery? Good idea. Mazda battery runs $120 list. You should be able to
get 10 to 20% off. Call Honey Mazda - they sell it for $95 as long as
you're in California.

Shocks? Why? Are yours going south? I have 103K and my shocks are fine.

Struts? That's what *you* should do when you're walking up to your car.
Otherwise there aren't any to worry about.
