I also opted for the DEX210. After talking to a few on here and studying the car I would say these are the most important first upgrades to the car...anything else is more asthetic and possibly to make parts last longer.

Initial parts -

Allow Hexes - The rear hexes being plastic warp as you tighten the wheels on, change these straight away for either the Durango or Tresrey parts, both around the £9 mark

Plastic Washers - Though these work, you end up with either binding or slop, not ideal. You can fettle the washers with sanding paper, but for £11 you can get the Tresrey washer set to do the whole car with the standard kit setup.

Tools -

Make sure you have a good set of Circlip pliars. If you can spend out on the Wiha one's as these I have had for years and have been brilliant.

Asside from that you should be able to run with the kit initially

Upgrades - (you do not necessarilly need, but i have swapped for a reason)

Adjustable spring retainers - Changed as the plastic one's could move if the spring gets spun

Bottom shock cap - changed as I have had shocks before with plastic bottom caps that have blown off on heavy landings/shunts

65g front brass suspension bulkhead - aids better handling

Carbide Diff Balls - longevity and smoother action

Schumacher slipper plates - last longer than Durango parts

Exoteck rear hubs - stronger than plastic version

RPM balls joints (yet to fit though) - better than durango version but you will need to also swap the actual suspension balls too (Schumacher seem to fit really well)
