It became sort of impractical as a daily driver. I wanted to get into the 135 for rear wheel drive fun and DD practicality. I'm looking to have fun driving the car hard but i'm not going down the street car / race car path again.

So what do you guys recommend? - Thanks!
since you said you're in advance group, I would say the most important mod is camber plates. without it, the car feels like a pig at the trough and if you're fairly fast, you'll soon run out of brakes. race pads, fluid, ti shims and some cooling will get the job done 98% time.
