i have stock shocks and springs with a vr4 front strut bar, 2g gst rear sway bar and a rear lower tie bar and it handle well and is very responsive. lowering it causes issues like rubbing and camber and toe needing adjustment and added expenses if those arent taking into account
do the rear disc conversion with a 1g turbo non abs proportioning valve and the car will stop very fast, mine does with no issues with stock calipers, upgraded pads and upgraded oe style rotors
DOHC is a good thought and i added some info to the end of the DOHC swap tutorial for people wanting to do the swap but not thinking about going turbo.
also, i would do the 5 speed swap while the auto is still good so you can sell it and make some money back like i did. i got my whole swap for like 500 and sold my auto for 350. and the car is an all new animal. and trust me its not gonna be 1500 if you do it right and know where to look.
+1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
