Just my opinion, but here goes:
Suspension: anything from Bilsteins w/ M030 or H&R springs to PSS9 depending on your budget.
exhaust: Robins RSRs to Fabspeed Maxflows depending on your desire for sound
Wheels: wow! many good options. Depends on whether you want forged, multi-piece, etc... Probably 8" in front and 10" in back will work well. Tires should be somewhere in the 225/40 front 285/30 range. Quality wheels can come form: Kinesis, Fikses, Forgeline, HRE, etc...
Airbox system: cut out the side or drill some holes (save your money on other mods)

- suspension: PSS-9 or Motons, RS sway bars and better also get monoballs while at it.
- exhaust: Fabspeed Supercups (very loud) or RSR's.
- Interested in 18" ---wheelsize and tire size: 18"x8.5 (235 tyre) & 18x10.5 (275 tyre)
- air box systems: Drill the airbox (or buy used K&N cone filter from me...)
- brakes...leave stock: You can leave stock but get track pads and maybe some cooling.

I've done all of these.
- Bilstein HD's with H&R springs
- FabSpeed MaxFlows
- 996 5-spokes with 285/30/18's on the rear
- drilled my air box
- installed Big Reds
I've also installed a C2S split grille and plan a LWF/RS kit soon. Then I'm really done!

as a sidenote i run two different configs:
autox: to increase oversteer i run 245 (front) and 275 (rear)
track: to increase understeer i run 225 (front) and 285 (rear)
i feel this to be safer for a track setup, but in the tight corners of autox my setup really works! I just wish they made the 275 in a 30 series because i don't like the taller gearing (reduces torque).
Cheers,
Boris

Obviously just a suggestion and based on my preferences. I rather have oversteer than understeer, undrsteer is safer and easier to handle so many folks actually prefer (little) understeer, but that's for you to decide what suits you best.
