    the best mod on these is to get a new pipe for the turbo's. the standard pipe restricts the turbos.
    beer me!

    What ever you want.

    Brakes - 280mm-324mm bolt on for reasonable cost, up to and over 355mm if you want to spend the coin
    Suspension - Any shock you want, any spring rate you want, coil overs, depends on how much you want to spend.
    Rims - Once again, if you have the coin, what ever you want. If you convert to 5 stud, your options are greater.
    Swaybars - Whiteline - ~$400 for F+R
    Strut bar - somewhat custom


    Search is your friend. There is MUCHO MA61 upgrade threads out there.

    I'd recommend a proper powersteering cooler if you like the twisties. Just use a small oil cooler out of an old MX12 or similar. They work a treat!

    I think Cruz pretty much covered everything else! But i highly recommend upgrading the brakes and getting some decent shocks with the added power.

    And check my thread in my sig for links to numerous upgrade threads.

    check rabid chimp out. there some good options parts you can buy from them on there site.

    heres a quick question, can you use the auto cooler part in the radiator for the powersterring cooler? since im not using it i thought it would be a good idea or is that part of the radiator not suited to high pressure applications?

    You could, but it would be of less benefit than the stock setup.
