Stock seats are good, it's going to be hard to find an a/m seat that balances everyday driving with good race support...these seats are better than the LSJ Recaros
New rods, pistons, and valve springs
For what? Your 'epic stock turbo build'? Keep your money, and if anything, the latter two, and rods if you are absolutely sure you are going to psuh an engine that only like 3 people on the site over the years have done
Pedders Coil overs
Get the lowering springs and call it a day. Not saying their not bad, but coilovers+dailydriver=broken coil overs in a short time
or 4 new enkei PF01's
These are one of the few wheels that are actually lighter than the stock forged pieces. Probably out of the 4 choices here, the best choice...unless you put **** tires on em

If you buy recaros/wheels, I might be interesting in buying your stock seats/wheels.

But to help you decide.what do you do with your car?
I want my next mod to be pedders lowering springs but the car is low enough as is where I live.
