in need of some advice on next mods on my MY00
i currently have an MY00 with the following mods:
PPP ECU
Afterburnver Vortex Bock Box (angled exit)
TSL group A Downpipe (will be fitting very shortly)
Bailey Dumpvalve
Dawes Device (on order currently out of stock)
JR Panel filter (ordering this week)
Power Engineering Boost Gauge
Knocklink (awaiting delivery)
Right here we go
next i want to look at the suspension and need some pointers. i will be buying Eibach springs but not sure what else. i want the same setup as my brothers P1 so what else do i need??
Also is it worth me getting strut braces for front and rear???
Also Brakes are on the list so i want some reasonably priced quality discs and pads any recommendations would be appreciated. do i need to uprate the rears or would the front be safice??
any help would be great as i'd like some guidance on my next steps and scoobynet never lets you down .
cheers

IMHO the best mod you can make to an MY99/00 is a Whiteline rear Anti roll bar (£125) and a pair of rear Whiteline Drop links (£40). Then get the geo set up to Powerstation settings. www.powerstation.org.uk or http://www.jap-innovations.co.uk should be able to help with all of the above (Jap innovations list them as MRT parts but they are Whiteline).
This will help to dial out alot of the understeer and dramtically improves the cornering capabilities
You can fit yourself to without to much hassle.

Agree with Scott.T's suggestion. Handling upgrades are often more rewarding than power upgrades.
Defo go for the Eibachs, too. I reckon the std disks or similar (ie cheaper alternatives) are more than sufficient but you will find a big improvement by upgrading the pads, fluid and brake lines. Ferrodo DS2500 are a popular choice of pad. Also Pagid, Mintex or new EBC (red ceramic are supposed to be good) are worth reading up on. I'd leave the rears as they are.
If you go to Powerstation for the geo they'll prob advise on the bump steer mod, too, which I've heard very good things about.

1. Eibach Springs
2. Whiteline Anti Roll Bar (adjustable)
3. Whiteline Rear Sway Bar Links
would it be a good idea to get the Whiteline Front Sway Bar Links???
how about Whiteline front and rear strut braces?? are they any good as i want to fit strut braces anyway.
im going to do all these mods at the same time.
