I too came from a Scooby (350 BHP Wagon).
I've had my 2005 LCR for about 8 months and have done pretty much what you're planning to do without the TIP
Weitec 40/40 springs and shocks ...much better ride, handling and looks.
15mm rear spacers........better looks.
Green Cotton panel filter
Piper Cat Back .............sounds great.
REVO Stage 1
Goes like s*** off a shovel now. As quick if not quicker than the Scoob
. Traction not
as good though

update
good news front h@r springs and new drop links fitted yesterday .
Today 2 new uniroyal rainsport 3 tyres fitted although my car has been jacked up using the outside jackpoints and the sills are not sitting flush anymore .Seems to have bent the lip on the underside witch is stopping the sills from fitting flush.
before
now
sills coming away
also tried to change the dog bone mount polybush. bolts were really tight so stopped before i broke something sprayed it with bolt loosening spray.may give it another go in a couple of days.
Also tracking to be done tomorrow. hope this goes well.

update sprring knocking noise
called off the wheel alignment today due to slight knocking noise coming from drivers side front intermittently over bad roads . now i don,t know is this is all in my head due to the springs being lower and stiffer making the car rumble more over bad roads , but am going to get it checked first.
