Let's see:
Comp springs - available from Nissan only, so that's a "factory" part - problem
solved is that the car leans too much.
Air dam - vintage BRE item - problem solved is that the front end gets light at
100+ mph.
Roll bar - well, they listed one in the parts manual, so it's sorta "factory" -
problem solved is if the air dam and springs don't work well enough, well...
Still sounds "original" to me. ;-)
