Default What performance & handling upgrades?

Hi all

As i know nothing, i thought id ask you lot what upgrades you would suggest i save for now

I have an MY04 sti ppp which i have had the following additons:

Performance:

Miltek centre exhaust
H&S Backbox
ECU Remap
3 Port Solinoid
K&N Filter

Styling:

Roof vent
Mud flaps
Defi Gauges
Front Carbon Lip Spoiler

Handling

ppp handling pack
sti front strut brace
18" PP7 Wheels

Its coming out at 330BHP at the moment, im not too worried about getting the BHP up, altho 350BHP would be a nice figure, but i dont want to put too much strain on the engine as i guess i have no warranty for the engine due to the mods :-)

I was considering some kind of new suspension, is it worth it?

Cheers all anyway

Paul

The only thing I would do with that spec is maybe just have a 4 wheel alignment, but even then yours probably doesn't need it.

I know this sounds daft but what about a CG Lock????

A guy did a demo at a recent Smacs meet where basically this little device holds you really firmly in place as opposed to moving about with your own seatbelt when braking or cornering hard.

Smacs members who have bought it swear by them

yes the brakes are good, just struggling to advise you on any worthwhile mods on what seems to be a well sorted car already!!!
