Help me decide what to do next to my car :D

Mod bug has bit me again, this is how the car is at the moment:

Invidia catless
Perrin quadtip

Kartboy STS
Kartboy front/rear shift bushings
Perrin 22mm front/rear sway bar
Kartboy endlinks

Torque performance stage 2.

I've been thinking of getting some KW2 coilovers. The only other coilovers I've heard good things about were RCE's tarmac 2's, which are just KW2's with a different housing?

it's that or I add bolt ons to hit the 350 whp mark on a conservative dyno. bigger top mount, fuel pump, 1000/1200cc injectors, stock vf52, pro tune on 91.

What's the saying; (1) Fast (2) Reliable (3) Cheap...Pick two because you cannot have all three??? You are not getting conservative reliable and usable 350 whp on 91 octane with simple bolt on budget without endangering your engine and transmission.

I daily my car, I track it 3 times a year,

What else would I need to make 350 apart from fuel pump/injectors/bigger intercooler. I'm guessing a boost controller as well, maybe a clutch to hold more torque?
