Save the cash from the remap as it wont really do anything, don't bother with the strut brace as coilovers will help to stiffen up the car. Get some polybushes that will do more than a strut brace.

If you are wanting to see some gains out of the engine get a less restrictive exhaust not just the back box - I can see you already have the K&N

I concur... swapped my (expensive brand!) 225 summer tyres on my mk7 for some Avon winter tyres that are only 205 wide. Can actually take it to full throttle in first and second without it spinning its wheels (which it does in these temperatures with summer tyres)!!
