Tires would be the most important upgrade. Brakes (better pads and fluid).

Also, what is your experience with lapping? Suspension in general?

I will be PMing you!

WHat is the condition of the car itself? No sense changing all the bushings if the motor needs a tune up, the brakes are worn, the clutch is worn, etc.
