What would be your top choices for mods?
I'm sure this has been asked before, but if your car were bone stock and you could only do three mods (no monetary limitations), what you would you do?

Burning Brakes
RS clutch/LWF
exhaust
you said no limit so suspension is technically "1" right? Also, the car will handle better on with solid mounts so they get a pass too.

It depends on how much money you have.....but as you say, if money was not the issue......I would leave it stock (well maybe put a new suspension on) enjoy it as is bit then go buy a GT2 or 993TT

2) transmission - your choice of gear and diff -lots of good choices
3) 8 & 10 x18 wheels and tires, if you already have them then RS brakes
your choice depends on your usage

1. suspension
2. exhaust
3. wheels and tires
Beyond that, I have done quite a few things without making it something I didnt intend it to be. Regear, engine enhancements---Im not into that. Maybe for a rebuilt but not just to do it.
I'll keep my mouth shut on the lwf and clutch upgrade on 95's.

Depends on how good your starting point is: bone stock and brand new, or bone stock and worn out? Bringing wear items up to spec isn't as satisfying as cool performance mods, but the end result can be a real transformation.
So for an mid-high mileage, bone stock car, my first "mods" would be:
- Brake overhaul with new matched pads, new OE rotors and new rubber lines. Flush the fluid (flush/bleed the clutch while you're at it).
- Tires. Four new, matching, modern high performance tires.
- Clutch kinematic lever upgrade and, likely, slave cylinder.
- Suspension. Anything from Bilsteins and nothing else for a like new, smooth and controlled ride on up to what others have said. Lower to preference (at least to ROW height) and align.
- Steering wheel. I'm amazed at what a difference this makes, and it's a difference that you feel every minute you're driving the car. The factory 4-spoke wheel is just not a performance car wheel.
- Seats. Factory seats are awful and have no lateral support.
Sending $5k (prob 6k now with exchange rates) to Germany for a Gxx-21 transmission is high on my list.
