Bilstein and Eibach suspension set up. Gives a nice lowered stance and very comfortable damping in the age of speed bumps and terrible roads.

Kingy, Great start! I have Eibach springs in my shopping basket, hadn't decided on which shocks but a good recommendation 
Cheers

Cheapest and most effective:

Head Light Relays
Starter relays

4-2 manifold
Dual down exhaust.

 

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Where are my DIY Links?

Looks. Lowering.

Sounds. Exhaust

Usability. Relays on lights.

They have to be taken as a sum though. No one mod is any good by itself

New Michelin, Continental or Pirelli tyres to replace the part worn 15yr old taiwanese ones on it that might as well be made of wood.

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

Lower strut brace makes a massive difference and well worth doing.
