Welcome!

I'd start with suspension. Better handling doesn't come from the lowest drop but from a balanced approach to roll stiffness at each end. But that's just me. Other people would start with the looks of the car.

Go ask in the various areas like appearance or suspension, etc. But first, try to decide which direction you want & how much money you want to spend. It's a lot easier to answer if the question is more focused.

Its and LX so its a F22B1 motor. For any big power your going to need 1 or more of the following:
Turbo
Nitrous
Motor swap

Anyways welcome to the forums.
