What would you do?
For me, this would be it.
- PSS-10 or whatever suspension with shock and springs as a matched set.
- RS sway bars
- front bushings
- rs shifter
- strut bar
- drill and pin the tie rods
- v-ram conversion on a 95
- rs door panel to give the cabin more space
- 55w HIDs
And that would be it. Nothing more, nothing less.

I can't speak for Axl, but other common mods (depending upon mileage and other work required) are stiffer engine mounts, a lightweight flywheel, oil coolers, mufflers, and even (for the hardcore guys) regearing the transmission. Then there are lots of cosmetic mods (spoilers/splitters, removing the "bumperettes", Turbo S ducts, seats, steering wheel, road wheels, Turbo (Big Red) brakes <yes, cosmetic, since the standard brakes are perfectly fine>. And, if you are a total Nitwit, the complete Ruf Turbo R package!

No regrets, on any of my mods. (see signature line for list)
best value for a street car were probably the HIDs.
Suspension mods are more subjective and personal, not necessary for a street car, so they are more difficult to justify, except for replacing worn shocks, and bushings.
What I have NOT done are:
LWF: waiting until my clutch goes, then will likely go with LWF
Regear: I would live to do this, but it makes little sense to me for the amount of money. If I get to the point where I need to rebuild my tranny, then it may make more sense.
3.8: may make sense at rebuild time.
RS Uprights: over the top for a street car.

-Paint touch ups

If i could redo i would do exactly whats on my sig. Next up is blue pillows along with engine carrier reinforce, g64 regear 3 through 6, FDM SS kit and golden rod, possibly RS Trans mount. Theres a very long todo list but Rome wasn't built in a day. I'm actually enjoying adding things slowly as i get to experience each mod independently of the rest. I thought the lwf and rs combo was quite a transformation. Ecu was also a nice improvement.

I am very happy with everything I have done so far... but If I could redo something I would have ordered softer springs from JIC. They were awesome on the track but the car skips around on the not so stellar streets around my house.

I only made one mistake - Bilstein HDs with M030 springs. Fixed that with KW V3s which are awesome.
The rest of the mods in my sig - especially the g50/31, LWF, softback sport seats and VRAM conversion - make the car close to my idea of perfect.
At some point I'll get a leather dash and door panels for the 95, but otherwise it's all the way there.

Best mod? Sold the Targa and bought the Turbo.

Ok, seriously, lets see mods that I did on the Targa that were not worth the money:

Ok, seriously, lets see mods that I did on the Targa that were not worth the money:
- Higher end speakers - sort of useless when you have a louder exhaust
- RS sway bars - a lot of money for a rougher ride and only usefull if you track a lot
- RS Motor Mounts - really did not feel the difference
Things that I did not do on the Targa that I thought was not worth the money:
- Regear the transmission - way too much money for the return
- Upgrade to 3.8L on the rebuild - way too much money for the return
- Supercharger - again better to just buy a Turbo
- RS splitters - hated the things, they kept on catching on surfaces, curbs
Mods that I did that were totally worth the money:
- RS clutch and flywheel - great increase in rev speed and feel
- PSS-9's - big difference in handling although not sure if other options over the crappy OEM shocks would do the same
- Aluminum guage rings
- JVC KD-AVX77 head end
- Sparco sports seats - heated cloth seats are wonderfull!
- HID headlights
- Turbo ducts with Hella lights
- Euro Turbo Bumper - much better look, clean and got rid of the splitters
- Gert's front protection bar
- Walrod's front suspension bushings
- Upgraded mufflers - including LPMM's, self-modified, and Romulus mufflers
- RS tail - great balanced look
- Fan over-ride switch
- Upgraded steering wheel - 340mm
- MY02's
- Upgraded muffler tips
cheers,
Mike
