Better tires and maybe some springs.
That's really all you need to have stupid fun with those cars.
Would you stay on the stock IC or upgrade to a FMIC?
I don't know enough about the newer WRXs to comment. On the older ones, I probably would have left it alone honestly. The stock one really didn't suck and the meth would allow that system to run super safe and awesome.
Edit: I just saw that you asked about a FMIC. I would never upgrade to a FMIC unless you were going to push serious hp.. I had a beefy TurboXS TMIC when my old WRX was stage 4.
