Welcome!

What sort of mods do you mean - mods to the suspension/handling or mods for increasing power?

Lots of things to do for both!

And don't forget upgrading the stoppers as the standard discs and pads are dreadful.

Power mods, cat back exhaust system, decent panel air filter and remap will free up some horses.

Yeah an STI intercooler is a good upgrade but not worth doing IMO if your not changing the turbo. The WRX intercooler will cope with a standard first remap and the mentioned parts above.
