Better shocks and struts would be my next choice. Bilstein makes a bolt in set for stock springs.

For a lot less money you will find that rear subframe bushing inserts are cheap and very effective. Transmission mount insert is a good idea, adds a bit of gear noise, also cheap and easy to fit.

MCA traction aids are an excellent mod, eliminates wheel hop and improves drive out of corners.

Finally, a front anti roll bar increase to 20 mm makes a big improvement as does fitting softer rear springs from the 2017 model year. Both help you get drive down onto the road in hard cornering.

Although I fit better tires first if I had a do over I would fit better tires last. Increasing the grip available first just makes the other modifications more important. Doing the suspension first and then adding better tires makes more sense to me now. Bonus to doing suspension first is you can explore the limits of the car more effectively after the suspension changes so you'll be in a better position to decide how much better grip you want and also enjoy the higher limits safely.

Trouble with fitting better tires first is everything gets faster and more demanding right away with grippier tires. Sticking with the stock tire lets you explore the car's amazing handling at safer and lower speeds.
