Default favourite mods and least favourite mods

It would be nice to learn what mods you guys would recommend and would not recommend to n00bs like myself. Keeping it open to all variants of the 964 obviously.

Favourite: well I think everyone loves a good exhaust.

As for what I’d recommend; first a thorough servicing, brake pads & fluid and fine tuning/corner balancing/lowering of the suspension. From there things can get out of control pretty quickly Big red brakes, wevo SS engine & trans mounts, Wevo short shift and PSJ, chip, RS interior, wheels, bilsteins, half cage, seats etc ETC

Least favourite: cat delete and wheels/tyres that don’t fit properly

Favorite?
* H4 headlights & high wattage bulbs
* H&R green springs & Bilstein HDs
* Cup1 wheels (replacing my D90's)

Least favorite?
Lightweight flywheel - wish I had Steve Weiner's mid-weight instead. Even with the SW chip, I get a lot of stalling.

I thought SW guarantees it won't stall?

Favs:
Suspension, Brakes, Exhaust as previously mentioned
Wong chip - stage 2 (fixed the stalling with my LWF)
T-Lock system
Clear lenses on corner turn signal

Least fav?
Excessively dark tinted windows - loses the classic look IMO
Turbo wing on non-turbo cars

More of a to do list than a done list

1 - Brake system - I want to know I can stop fast before I go fast
2 - Suspension system - to optimize cornering
3 - Reduce weight - only reason its not first on my list is coz some like creature comforts
4 - 200 cell Cat & G pipe - a bit extra oomph while keeping sound & Greeness at reasonable levels.
5 - Beef up the engine by 15% (not sure how yet)!

I agree on the basket handle 933 spoiler mod. Looks like *** on a coupe. It came on the 91' black coupe. Been thinking of removing it and filling the holes and repainting the deck lid and frunk. Deck lid has a crease and frunk lid is shotgunned. Interesting to see that a couple of people say they don't like the cat bypass. Why is that? Noise or green?
