Most Worthwhile GTI6/Rallye Upgrades

Lighter 15" 7" wide wheels will make a bigger difference than anything for your money. Decat is a waste of time if you have a Peugeot original cat downpipe. Remove the spare wheel and reduce weight.

Decent beam refurbish, new beam mounts (rubber not solid), new P bushes, new engine mounts, new original Peugeot dampers (better than B4s). Or modify it, just be sensible and don't pour money into cheap crap suspension.

Thanks for all the info! Id agree, I dont think Rainsport 3's on the back are as bad as people think (i have them on the rear) Mods wise im going to stick to just the magnex cat back although may uprate suspension parts when they need changed, will wait and see
Lighter wheels cost a fortune though
But yes id agree with everyone that the best mod/biggest improvement will be a good set of tyres

Cheers!
Yeah id agree, will stick with Michelin PS3's for a long while to come I think
