The factory setup is pretty damn good. The reality is that mere mortals have a difficult time extracting the maximum from the factory setup. A good alignment and a good set of tires is all you need as Paul noted.
To put this car's capabilities into perspective, there are guys at the local tracks that can turn production car lap records with only alignment and tires. The key though is being able to consistently extract that performance. A set of Motons, etc. will likely allow you to go faster more consistently, but it won't make you a better driver doing it.
My vote is to leave the car stock, but do an alignment and some good tires. Perhaps even lower it a touch, which seems to help things as well.

You can go fast with the stock set up as said but I find there is not enough rebound and spring rate in the spring/shocks...the car bounces and pitches to much....sure a pro could go faster with the stock car vs. me with the Bilstein Race shocks but I feel better..more confidence when the car is stable.
The other changes are the solid toe links and if you lower it the bump steer.
