welcome to the mad house, I haven't seen anyone review the OEM Bilstein clickers but assuming they are good you can skip the first mod every recommends(shocks) and move to the second (short throw shifter) and third (extended hinges)
Unless you are someone who never works on his sling(take it to the dealer/shop for everything) the extended hood hinges are a must, don't wait until you have hit your forehead against those sharp corners one too many times and draw blood.
