These cars are pretty damn good bone stock. They are not like american "muscle" cars that need lots of mods.

As far as many suggesting getting driving lessons, well even if you are an experienced driver and it sound like you are, getting some instruction in a car with different characteristics would be a good idea. Also, most that start off asking the questions you did in your first post, don't have high performance driving experience and think that adding a bunch of crap to the car to make it faster is the right way to start off.

It's your car, do with it as you wish

almost forgot....
without pics, it ain't real!

That was part of my point as well. These car are much much better engineered than american cars. Everything is done for a reason and it all leads to optimal power and performance from what is there. People who think they will out smart the Germans waste a lot of money trying and never quite get there. I've never understood the ls swap...I bought a Porsche to have a Porsche.

Good call on the suspension parts.
