Welcome! Congrats on a great purchase. Go fast mods...eh! Well, there are many options. Best advice is to get many opinions and do what's best based on budget and goals. For example, check out the mods I've done in my signature. We're all here to help. [Big Grin]

For handling, Get Sub Frame Connectors, and Shock tower brace. It will really tighten the car up.
