has to be hi spec setup mate as you have 8 pistons acting on the pads rather than 4 like the v6, turbo setups!
Get hi specs work out just under £600 and they will be fine

coilovers if you can afford better than FK,
if not then go for koni yellow adjustables id say, hi spec billet 4 pot, there goes 1k but will be much faster on track, can handle better and brake safer and later

phase 2, frontera cooler, quiaffe atb, f28, all new hoses and clips, hybrid turbo, enlarged top hat, arp head studs, and arp rod bolts,
should run 200 bhp nicely all day long, or ring pace and get a nice custom fmic, rather than the regal one be different
can do most of that yourself, just rods, studs and diff you will have to get someone that knows there way around a let

Rear discs, while they may not stop you mch quicker, won't heat like the drums. So it is a worthwhile investment
