Modified insurance. Check. Stage 1 remap. Check. What next?

More "real world" grip and improved handling precision. (This thing won't ever handle like my old MY03 WRX but that is my benchmark)

I am 52 so forget lows and coilovers for me.

Probably Billstein S4 sports and maybe another 10-15mm lower on the springs. (The front valance already scrapes standard curbs).

Before I can do them justice I was thinking about bushes. Rear beam, front wishbones (with ball joints) and ARB bushes. (No point doing the strut tops if I am going to do the Billsteins next month).

Anything else? Or other suggestions for sharpening the handling of a 135k mile car are more than welcome.

only thing i can think of is a front upper strut brace?

Rear anti roll bar would be a good shout, it would help tighten the turn in. Plus some are adjustable like the whiteline so you can get the feel right for you.

vRS rear beam bushes
TT wishbone bushes
Whitelineline rear anti roll bar

You could upgrade to a TT steering rack too

Pretty much as Rhys has said plus a front upper and lower Audi S3 strut brace

Equally a lot of people forget about those 4 bits of rubber that are actual contact with the ground
