for exhaust i would go with an x pipe with magnaflow or bassani mufflers, i would go with brembo brakes with 4 piston calipers drilled and slotted rotors checkrim clearance before you buy the brakes some take 17' rims others take 18' rims check with your dealer before buying.

magnaflows.....I would have went with Brembo breaks,but they were a little out of my price range. I went with Baer instead and they work great ***after I had to have a part fabricated to make them fit properly***. Baer knows of the problem, maybe thay have fixed it themselves and if that is the case they are well worth it!!

after u get that exhaust fixed id get some gears and sticky tires. best thing to get the power to the ground it some sticky tires. grab a set of nitto drag radials of bfg drag radials. they are both great tires.and some 410 gears. the car will feel like a totally different car. u could get some upper and lower controle arms after that. i baught mine from www.uprproducts.com for$200 and im happy withthem. depends what u want urcar to do. handle, or hook? starnge shocks/struts are goodfor the track as well as lakewood shocks/struts

Sticky tires
Gears
Control Arms
Springs (Type depends on what you need)
Subframe connectors
Exhaust (Longtube headers, mid-pipe and catback)
Mach/Bullitt/Cobra Brakes
Shocks/Struts (KYB AGX, Strang 10-way, Bilstein, Koni etc.)
That should be good for some basic stuff. If you want more suspension...
Tubular K-member and A arms
Coilovers
Panhard bar
Weight reduction
