They respond well to a supercharger kit, around 300bhp is the norm.
Coilovers and some sticky tyres, maybe some strut braces and anti-roll bars will see you round the corners nicely.
Can't remember who does the supercharger kit, might be Jamsport?

at the lower end of the scale a mountune cais and miltek flexi and decat free up some power around 165bhp, i love my mountune it trasforms the car, much happier to rev etc.
set of goodridge brake lines and freado pads sorts the braking.
bistein b6 suspention kit sorts the handle (as if you need to lol)
good tyres are a must to get the best from it

i deffo reccomend breathing mods i fitted a full exhaust including decat and flexi and fitted a induction kit and the car pulls loads better and you can pick the parts up 2nd hand for quite good prices if your on a budget
