Default suspension & mods

Well let me just start by saying I’m a sn197 noob. anyway I am looking at some mods and from my experience power is NO GOOD unless you can put it down so for starters I was looking at getting a CAI + tune and some lca's plus relocation bracketssome gears as well and probably some drag radials... (Does this sound like a decent start in the right direction?) Basically what I want to know is, are uca's really that beneficial? and what other suspension mods should I be looking into, I don't have any big plans for the car so it's not going to be running' 10s or probably even 11's any time in the near future (years) so let me know what you guys think? Thanks in advance

cai+tune is definitely the best place to start - bamachips and brenspeed get the most frequent good press around here. the lca's and brackets are beneficial of course; what about springs and shocks/struts? is that a part of your plan as well? and if you lower, you'll need an adj. panhard bar (& a phb brace) to re-center the rear axle.
