Hiya
I've looked at a lot of this and spent alot of money on the car, I think for chassis gaz coilovers all round with ultra racing front and rear antiroll bars and front and rear strut brace, I'm running 18 inch wheels with 225/40s michelin pilot super sports tyres, the handling and grip levels are out of this world I've never had a car handle and grip so well I'm touring the alps at the moment look for my post with the blog on it. As for power I've spoken to most of the tuners on here and the all say the same thing a weak bottom end. For me I've a racing beat manifold with just a race cat, better air flow and a remap, transforms the whole car as for brakes uprated disc ebc/black diamond with ebc yellow stuff pads up front and ebc red stuff pads at the rear with braided hose all round if they can survive the passes out here and nurburgring and track day back home, that's a plus for me
