M-Sport if you have already upgraded the suspension... I am fairly satisfied with the performance aspect of the cars with the exception of suspension. No tune needed on my part.

The very 1st thing I would get for this car if I was willing to spend that much money on it would be an LSD. This car transforms completely with that. I would then spend 100 bucks and get JB1 and call it a day.

Now you can actually apply all that power while you are turning and not only while you are going straight.

I'd do either the above or below. Maybe swap something for coilovers. Also, forget JB1, get a JB+ or JB3. Really depends on what you want to do and how many big mods vs small mods you want to do. (I mean by cost)

I would expect wheel/tires > Suspension. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought tires yields the most performance as far as any single suspension mod goes. Someome please correct me for future reference?

Suspension typically yields the best handling improvement however given how awful the factory RFTs are, simply replacing those will vastly improve the vehicle's grip and comfort.

wheels > suspension. i dont think everyone driving down the road is going to nut over your suspension mods. on the other hand, a nice set of wheels will yield that result.
