Or if you don't have suspension, then i'd go that route next. Lots of sweet new coilovers out for our cars now too...........Tein is coming out with 3 models of coilovers (Basic, SS and FLEX.....and no the SS model has no relation to our cars), B&G, KW, Cobalt Addiction and K-Sport just released some niiiice coilovers too. Or you could go the traditional lowering spring route. I'm debating whether to get some Koni adjustables to pair w/ my Sportlines or to just wait and save for the K-Sport coilovers. Decisions decisions.............

Cat back, Ingalls or the Turbo Tech Racing engine mount, prothane transmission bushings. Then there is always short throws, suspension etc

Upgraded clutch for the extra power you will be making soon

definatly short throw shifter and stock 2.4 clutch is good for the turbo but a new one wouldnt hurt your spending the money not me. but torque damper bushings engine mounts all great mods for that turbo but whatever i guess.

to prep for fi i would stiffen up the drivterain a bit, upgrade to a stage clutch and possibly a lightweight flywheel, a short throw shifter and a 2.5-3 inch full exhaust. plus all the engine tuning, larger iarger injectors, boost guage, etc... that comes with the fi kit.

good luck!

No it optimizes the amount of torque to the wheels (ground)

Either keep it to help get the kit quicker or like some have said above, clutch, polymounts would be your best bet if you HAVE to buy something.

i was reading a diff thread. a strut bar wouldnt work with the hahn kit. the piping runs in the way. plus a strut bar is kinda useless since the towers are so close to the firewall thats kinda like a strutbar.
