Where would i be able to get coilovers / traction bars still street friendly. Keeping jn mind this is my daily

Definitly think you can run faster without adding more power. Decent coilovers will help so will boost per gear or at least a high/low boost switch. Don't think traction bars are needes just yet.

So Stock suspension? Tyre make? size?

211kw atw in that body should be good for high 13 seconds if your suspension is setup correctly - Set of wide slicks up front 205's and plus , Poly engine mounts , Decent Coilovers or sport spring & shock combo,

Also a linear power graph is best , Sounds like as soon as you hit boost -all you see is tyre smoke

He can setup the Dicktator GPO output for this to activate on RPM set value or a micro switch on the throttle cam to switch to hgh boost on cetain opening on throttle cam. GPO is a better option I think.

Your tyres are decent so throw in some quality coilovers that have damping adjustment, anywhere around the 200kw region is more than enough in a mk2, you just need to be able to put it all down.

There is no way I am going smaller on the turbo her body weighs in at just under a ton with the new motor, mags etc.just bear in mind this was on Tarlton and there is little to no grip 15.3 with wheelspin up to 3rd gear vs the street where I get traction in 2nd.

I've had a battle today with the ford focus ST and whipped his ass from 2nd gear all the way to 5th going up the hill at silverstar casino as I'm only battling in 1st in the streets.

Shes running reliably and pulls like a beast, since I cant do anything else performance wise while running pump gas I am going to focus on traction and putting in a decent electronic boost controller. I'm waiting for the next meet as I've already bought TOYO R888R semi slicks 225/70/15 with a set of steelies of course. This will have to do up until I can get myself the coilover set etc.

I'd rather put some cash away to get her a proper set of koni or eibach coilovers and know that i have one of the best than take out 3k - 5k on a cheap set and be disappointed.

Thanks for all the help, hints and tips its much appreciated all

That. Or

go slicks, solid engine mounts,solid LCA bushes and have a nose dive setup however RIP gearbox, clutch and drive shafts
