   I'd get 170lb springs if your bang on track days but even 155's are good just leans abit lol.

   Remember to do the engine mounts too
   
   I'd go for strut braces as well

   Good Tyres
   Engine Mounts
   24mm Rear ARB
   Springs as said.
   
   Anything else would include changing dampers.
   Try adjusting the rear beam height unless your happy with its characteristics.
