Definitely do heads if you can, really transforms the power delivery. Skip a 708 or creampuff OE cam and go with something aftermarket - more power, better sound, etc. - as it's a PITA job for minor gains with OE parts.
I think cast is superior to forged if not running boost. Noticeably quicker revs and that is exacerbated when doing other lightened rotational mass items. 708 cam is more fun at idle.
The first batch of 2000's motors are known as oil burners. I had one for 4 years and a GT3 at the same time...
I don't know about GEN1, but GEN2 can be done with hood in place. However, simply removing the 4 bolts on the hood side of the hinge makes the job much easier (note, not a 1 man job).
Coilovers. BC is a great road option. GEN1 is 31+ years old, so the shocks and bushings are definitely outside their prime. BC replaces everything on the stock shock/spring assemblies and will make the car flat in turns/accel/braking and help kill wheel hop on launch. KW also has an option for...
Updated the thread.
Tires were removed from the wheels, so price has been adjusted accordingly. If someone wants tires with the wheels, they are available.

Depending...

Although they use the same calipers and rotors, GEN 1 & 2 have different knuckles. I talked to IPSCO about it years ago when the GEN1 brackets were discontinued - maybe the GEN2 brackets can be modified to fit GEN1.
Brembo has different p/n for GEN1 and GEN2 kits, both front and rear.
