As above really, looking at what mods are possible and costs involved. Sure this has been covered loads but search isnt working!

Car already has bilstein shocks, rear brace (behind seats) and 195/50 tyres but thats it. So for say £500 what would be the best use of my money? Induction kit and sports exhaust? Alignment check and up rated anti roll bars? etc etc.

Really looking on the performance side more than handling as handling is good already. Any hints would be great, thanks.

So basically no performance improvement unless you spend big bucks or go FI?

But handling is a better bet to 'tweek'? If a car has bilstein suspension and is lowered by about 30mm or so, how do I check what springs have been put on it and if it has been done properly? I have heard that Eibach springs are good but dont know if thats what are on there or not???

Thanks
