Solid Droplinks (£80)
Anti-lift kit (£125)
4 wheel geometry. (£50)
AST Coilover suspension (£1200) OR Springs (£150)
AP 6 Pot Brakes (£1500) OR Fast Road pads (£250), Discs (£200), Hoses (£50)
Stage 1:

They all make a big difference. Suspension/Brakes/Power.
I did mine in Power/Suspension/Brakes order.
Depends on what type of driver i guess you are, and what you want. You decide that though, don't let others persuade you.
If your budget allows, you could do the power route, but then half measures with springs & fast road pads for the others.

The brakes on a pre'99 car aren't up to much, being two-pot, with fairly small discs.
Whilst I wouldn't completely disagree with any of the other posters, I'd say that if you are contemplating better handling, and/or better power, you're going to be going faster? If so, better brakes are No1!! Four pots and bigger discs at least. I have 4 pot Brembos with 325mm discs on my '98 car, which is well modded.
Have a look at www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk too.
