Sensibly priced upgrades for an 850T-5R?

[KM2]

Anything you'd recommend for the car, which doesn't cost the world but will improve performance in the real world?

I'm fairly OK with the engine (btw. it is an autobox) but something, which will aid in handling without making it any more bone shattering would be nice.

The car is still fully original after 11 years and 335.000 km, on it's second engine (first one blew up at 225k km, manufacturing error).

Thanks Russ!

Any suggestions?

Btw. it is a LHD, what conversions would I need to perform to drive it in the UK? Lights, I imagine but would those little strips on the headlamps be sufficient or would I need to change whole units?

Hi you should just need the beam benders to make a tempory fix when are you in the uk ?

OK, my English in these matters is elementary, what exactly are beam benders?

Any other suggestions you would have for improving it? Would a strut brace improve things? Is there an LSD, which is good and works with the auto box? A good brake upgrade?
