definately suspension when i look at your pics mate! doesnt need to be coilovers, a g-max spring and shocker kit will do mate! get some poly bushes up front too! will handle 100% better!

Koni's, then with the extra money left over put it towards the exhaust. (Not worth putting a different manifold on imo)

Sean 21 was selling his coilovers iirc,brakes should be alot better now with the bigger set-up & dot 5.no point going for a silly 3" exhaust with tubular manifold unless you go forged over 300hp IMO,just get a decent 2 1/2 stainless mate.

STD teg-R brakes are 282mm the same as the ZS setup AFAIK.

The calipers are the same.

decent suspension seems to make teh best upgrade, allows you to go faster through places without having to brake, then brakes so you can leave slowing till last sec, then exhaust for that extra tweak of power. There again it seems you already haev teh brakes so mayeb you can skip that bit.
