I did a flapectomy on mine and re-mapped it. Simon from Emaps did mine and it was an extremely worthwhile investment. The map was later wiped by an ECU flash and as I was p/exing it I didn't bother redoing it.

I didn't bother with modding the suspension, but I have been looking at improving the brakes and it appears that the pads are the same as fitted to the E46 M3 so there's a wealth of choice - Ferodo, EBC, Tarox etc
