Depends what the purpose is? Just for track days, all you need is decent brake fluid - motul rbf600 is a good one, decent pads, like Hawk HP or HPS, braided lines are a good idea as well. Konis and kings are fine for a start, Teins are better or just get a decent set of springs for the bilsteins you already have. Heasmans or East Coast Suspension can revalve the bilsteins which will make them much better especially matched with either kings or eibach springs. A torsen lsd is a nice thing too.

If the mechanicals are in good nic now and you aren't upgrading them, you shouldn't need to do much else. Decent tyres are where the times are so get a set of 15x7s and wack some 205/50 Toyos R881s for a start or dunlop D02 or the new D03 if you want the best tyres. 8)
