I am thinking more suspension and aero instead of pure power, and have a budget XD.

Don't do borla headers, there build quality is still hit and miss for the money, get the gruppe s:

Also you can't just swap on headers on this car, you'll get a check engine light P0420, that's why you'd need a tuning solution openflash is the most user friendly flash and go wise and if you plan to stay NA, also running the tune unlocks a lot of power from the header and the torque dip this car has completely disappears:

That's the best place to dump $1000 on this car from the start, for no more torque dip and noticeably better power and throttle response
Nothing else exhaust wise really nets more power, in fact they usually net more noise than power.
There is nothing necessary aero and suspension wise for the street and going that route will simply either rice the car out or make ruin it's daily drive-ability, you actually need to drive and beat the car to find out what it needs, I have yet to find the stock suspension setup for street use to have anything lacking, in fact maybe only these stock pads and brake fade a bit but that's about it. The biggest mod will be getting in the car and driving, and keep driving whether it be autox, hpde, track days and choosing mods according to what you've learned about the car.
