The only answer to your question is boost. You'd spend money fixing things on the 86 that don't need "fixing" yet, you don't have the power to necessitate them.

Boost, then tires. Then go from there. Anything else is just your excuse to tell people you have these "awesome" mods. In reality, NA stuff may change the power delivery up to a whole 10% (wowza!) meanwhile, dropping a SC in the car can get you 40-100% more power easy.

Seriously, with rims, tires, coils, and a full exhaust - your taking a platform that is already great for the twisties and backroads, and - not doing much with it. Are you going to get to work faster? Or maybe pass 2 extra cars? Put some much needed HP/TQ in that motor, and roll out on those mustangs and camaros on the highway or dragstrip.

I mean, unless this is a racecar (doubtful) then you'll want to ditch your interior, switch panels with CF, change battery, remove seats and audio, etc.

But for the money of "mods" you posted, if you don't get boosted, IMHO your wasting your money. Worried about the lighter rims? ALL that "heavy" unspring wheel weight? ADD POWER. F' the wheel weight.
