If you need a service and tyres then you cant ignore these but if its a bit of bling then a wheel referb.
PS
Your not allowed to alter the look of your spec -c buy adding bits of plastic, if it did not come with the car then you cant have it
Less is more if you get my drift

Don't change the suspension, Not worth it, you ain't getting much better than whats on the Spec c even with coilovers.
After seeing the curb marks on the wheels last weekend, I'd be going with the refurb. Grey or a light black would be nice

no need for tyres he just want's a set for the summer,nothing wrong with the suspension ,as i said the clutch is not slipping,all jokes aside don't want to change the car cosmeticaly but the wheels need to be sorted ,a service is a must , will an andy f remap improve the car? i planned to buy him a secs unit for xmas.I suppose it would be sensible to change the disc when we've got spare cash.

the remap probably will make a big difference, even though its been mapped elsewhere already. From what i understand andy f is one the best at mapping, though i'm interested in hearing his results with ecutek software as this is what he would be doing for richie and myself

If money ain't a problem then I would say the following in order :
Full service which you can do the discs at the same time
Sec's unit with all the goodies
Wheel refurb and tyres at the same time

I would also have a talk with Andy about your map and the history of the mapping on the car Richie... after hearing the boys first hand experiance that may be well worth it.
Ask him about a knocklink as well that may be worth fitting... if your mapping for power you need monitoring equipment that is a must.
Rob's car demonstrates that.
NO REAR SPOILER before you think it and you know my thoughts on the window spoiler.... want me to post that picture I have Richie ?? shall we look at an unconventional alloy colour choice maybe ?

reading my mind fella
get it up
the little carbon spoiler on the window looks subtle
wheels in dark bronze
or day glow pink the car was mapped with the safty aspect weighing heavy in its favour and max boost 1.2 bar it is currently at 330bhp
matches your personality mate

The colour lines of the rear window spoiler go well with the car colour and the blacked window tint, as your running no rear spoiler as in the pic I think this works well
Wheel colour all i can say is that i've seen a subaru modding company that runs white bodys with blue wheels and they look stunning
I cant get my head around the blob eye taller sti bonnet scoop on a bugeye for me it just dont look right
I take your point about more air flow into the i/c, look at getting a i/c splitter to improve things that way.
Being a spec c you will need to keep it looking that way IMO but its your car so its your choice .
Never been a better time to buy a SEC's unit cheap as chips at the moment.

brembo No knocklink but knock correction which tells you how the ecu is running. + correction is good - correction is bad so it does help.
Some of the better functions are boost pressure, water temp. battery volts and a clock
Your peak boost pressure along with RPM and road speeds are also recorded
