For upgrades I would just start with the alloy front suspension hangers, upper transmission housings and bando belts. Also Nortech whities or the new red Schumacher shock O rings are good. The blue Schuey ones leak oil for a past time. I'm still running the stock plastic steering arms, SX3 arms seem to be stronger than previous ones.
Useful things to check on the car are the belts, diffs, bearings etc. Check none of the suspension hanger bolts are bent etc as they can work loose.
You've picked a good car though, mines been tough and is real nice to drive.
