ARB is the anti roll bar. You can get uprated ones, iirc whiteline used to do an adjustable one.
Replace as many bushes as you can with poly bushes. A slight drop on good suspension that can be set up properly. Good tyres, lightweight alloys.

Uprate the brakes with drilled/grooved discs and fast road pads, proper braided lines.

Going fast isn't always about pure power, the ££££'s you'll spend chasing extra hp could be spent elsewhere and be more rewarding.
Thanks. Can a turbo conversion or super charger be got and bolted on and would there be much more needing upgraded if I did I know brakes will but anything else? Thanks
