I'm sure GAB's or Koni's would be just fine with a little work.

I bet some 17x9's would work with from BBS or something. Maybe not
optimal, and you don't NEED two sets, although it is sure nice. I only
have 1 set of wheels right now for my Camaro.

Why not run a straight pipe? Or a Borla, or any number of other things
that weight 10 pounds more, and save $500?

Do you need two $500 seats? Nope.

And on the other hand there are lots of cars with big $$$ in them that
aren't fast, and there are those with very little $$$ invested that are
rockets. Common thread seems to be the drivers. Although ASP sure strikes
me as by far the most expensive place to run an SP car. ESP being the
cheapest IMHO.
