that reminds me to update
the problem with modding a car like ours is the more you do the more that still needs doing
a car with 450bhp might feel nice in a straight line but on std brakes and suspension would feel like a pig
BUT just read yours is an STI which should be a much better starting point than mine

He has some quote/ideas to go with, but i think he's re-thinking the £4k spend.

I have the Tein Flex suspension with the EDFC which allows you to set the damping from inside the car I read that they would be hard for UK roads but I have mine set up for 32 levels of setting both rear and front when set to softest in my opinion it is softer than the standard STI (with prodrive springs) and you don't need a spanner to keep changing settings so whilst in the car keep soft then if your at the lights and fancy a blast round corners etc. Press button and in 2 - 3 seconds (literally) it's ready for fast road.
Next I have AP Racing 6 pot with 355 disc and braided hoses and Ferrodo 2500 pads.
If you haven't had these get suspension/handling and brakes done thats all you need to do.
Mine is at 350bhp + but with all the handling and brakes sorted! To me it's just right and a daily driver (but I'm always on the look out .....
