   Billstein shocks, Faulkner springs or decent coilovers.
   
   Brake upgrade, 266/283s
   
   Decent tyres
   
   If your fitting yourself youll have some money left over for a decent induction kit, if your paying for fitting thatll be it

   suspension / strut braces / poly bushes / engine mounts / gearlinkages / quickshift
   
   If you are going to drive it fast around a track you are best off being able to carry that speed around the corners (suspension) with no sloppyness in the handling (suspension / bushes / engine mounts) and with a nice direct gearshift so you aren't fluffing changes all the time..
   
   This little lot still left some money over for some decent brakes

   that incl postage kam?
   
   and the pads, you can save by using mintex pads off ebay theyre almost as good imo
   
   however the mounts and quickshifts and braces are important for handling
