Brembo's with good disc/pad combo would be top of my to do list with the above, the standard 4 pots are pretty useless at those sort of power levels.
To be honest im not sure if it has a sti up pipe or not, I dont know loads about them but I was told that it a dec cat pipe! And all the other parts that bluebugeye mention are on the liat for next upgrades. All I have done is change the bottom end and uprated the oil pump, platinum spark plugs and performance clutch so far.

I didn't realise that about the weight difference, so thanks for that.

I need to change my brakes anyway I just didnt realise that the standard 4 port wont be good enough so I will get bigger brakes on it first.

What would be the cost of getting it mapped to make it a good but safe, at fbtuning with a dyno run after all the mods have been put on if you know? Thanks
