You should do some back reading in this group as well as some of the forum sites like
FYI - You also need to learn what an upper idler pulley is and replace it ASAP if it has over 50K miles on it no matter what you do.
For the suspension, install a set of Koni shocks. $550 in parts, about $200 in labor if you pay someone to do it. This is probably the one best susp mod for the dollar you can make. You can install lowering springs in softer or harder configurations depending on who's you buy. You can install the (highly recommended) steering rack brace kit. You can update the rear anti-sway bar. Urethane bushings are available for tighter handling.
For the body, there is one aftermarket kit that I know of.
There are lots of sites for chips and other stuff depending on what you want. I would _highly_ recommend doing the suspension first - Koni shocks and springs if you want them - before doing the engine. You'll get more smiles per mile that way. After that, do the MBC or ECU, do the exhaust and the intake mod's. The steering rack brace gets lots of Kudos. Body parts are kuel if you have the money to buy and paint them _properly_.
