Hi all, im looking to spend about £2k on my00 UK Turbo, its completely standard at mo apart from an STI backbox & 18'' wheels.

Any advice on what to buy or what not to buy, plus where to buy & get fitted, would be greatly appreciated. Id like to spread the money between handling & performance.

Thanks, Ben.

 

Really need to know how you intend to use the car. Fast roads, track days, Sunday drive with the Mother in Law in tow?

For fast road AST suspension & full geo set up & upgraded brake discs, pads & braided hoses will use your 2k. For track days add AP brakes at an other 1.5.
btw, a driving course would be good move as well
