Good luck with the mod path.

As said before. Sort the suspension first. Bring it all up to good standard and upgrade depending on road conditions and driving style. Then make sure to get good corner balance and alignment.

Then some type of sport seats so that you can stay in place while enjoying the new suspension.

Then get some driving instruction so that you can maximize the capability of the driver and the car together.

Once you can exceed the car limits go for more power.

I agree with Jamie. I recently got my car and was going through a similar thought process as you. I read some great advice on here that basically stated prior to doing any upgrades drive your car for a while. Figure out what is worn out and needs refreshing. On most of these cars there will be things you were not expecting. I think in many cases the suspension is not updated or refreshed as these cars age. Not that your car will be like mine but what I found on mine is the engine is fine but many other things need attention including my suspension.

I’d do a search with the terms “3.0” “CIS” “964 cam” and “Webcam 20/21”
