Any one have any experience with the HPS Silicone Tubing mixed with a drop in filter like the Perrin Filter?
Also, what are other things I can do.......better performance oil? Gasoline? There is a station here that sells 95 octane. It's unleaded and meant for auto's so I was considering even trying that too.

There is really no need for a silicone inlet yet, and better brands then what you are looking at anyway. All they do is keep temps down which wont really benefit you right now. As far as oil, OEM is never wrong. You will get 100 different opinions on oil from 99 people, so YMMV. Gas, nothing higher than 93 will really benefit you as the car is not tuned for it.
DO NOT mess with the suspension. There is no need. Every suspension mod will change the cars handling charactoristics. If it does not suit your driving style you will hate it and it could be dangerous. Some people like understeer, some oversteer. It all depends. Drive it stock and learn what you want from the car. Read part reviews and figure it out from there or ask specific feedback in tech sections to get appropriate respsonses.
