60K miles on my timing belt, am I pushing it? 200

As has been mentioned, you might easily go quite a bit longer without changing the belt, but I just question your thinking if you are putting this one off, and instead be putting your bread into new struts and shocks, etc. If that is your plan, I think you need to rethink your plan. A complete timing belt kit- even with tensioner - isn't going to cost you what just one of your strut inserts will set you back. And old shocks aren't going to strand you on the highway in a possibly dangerous situation.

If I were you I'd do the timing belt, then change the suspension items as I could afford them.
