The Lenso's will be fine either 17's or 18's I got 18" Lenso's on my EL, Best bet for suspension is to buy some King springs, and some shocks (Monroe's, Pedder's etc.) and get them installed at a local mechanic or suspension place. Not sure about remote start, but a pod filter is an easy mod but would be more beneficial in an enclosed air box as to avoid hot intake temps, most people prefer a bigger snorkel and a K&N panel filter instead but it's personal opinion! Good luck with the car!

Both 17" and 18" wheels are illegal on your car if it had the 14" steel wheels as a factory fitted wheel. IF the placard says that a 15" wheel was standard then yes, you can get the 17" wheel.
