You already said what you want to do: refresh the suspension and get more power 
Start with making sure all maintenance is done. I've made a checklist for new owners here: http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q_how_to/a3b4/newcheck.htm
This will do all catch up maintenance. For power, a chip + fuel injector nozzles will give you a lot of power. The clutch may slip so start with a chip and see how you like it. Look thorugh the FAQ section "1000q". There are also suspension writeups, I don't know what kind of ride you would like so call the vendors to ask how the shocks will ride.

Do the suspension first, power is nothing without control of the body.

Large Oil leak into intake
VW Mk3 Jetta, Passat TDI and other/older dieselsSo I'm fairly certain one of two things has happened to my TDI. Either the turbo blew or the head gasket. Was driving tonight speeding up, nothing crazy. I lost power. Was still going at 60 just stopped accelerating. Felt a pop then smoke started pouring out of the exhaust. I was less than a...- 1

AAZ Injection Timing Issues
VW Mk3 Jetta, Passat TDI and other/older dieselsI have an AAZ that's always been a little sluggish. I'd been driving it with the cold start lever constantly pulled out because it would stall otherwise. This lead me to believe the timing was too retarded. When I checked it, it was at 0.73mm, which is within the "check range" but I decided to...- 1

Starter Application for AAZ with 020 Trans
