I haven't upgraded either car, but I have a 99 LPT and an 00 Aero and the suspension is likely the most notable difference between the two (until you get on the highway). Your proposed mods off a 99 would be even more evident. Cool stuff! You'll appreiate the suspension mods all the time, too, not just when you're on boost.
I run 16" on my Aero year-round. The roads here are atrocious and you can find some very good-handling tires in those sizes.
One other thing: early-model year 99's had the older-style NG900 rear brakes, which are a touch whimpier than the 99 1/2- brakes; I'm not suggesting a brake upgrade but you might want to make sure you've got good material all the way around before you bring any extra power in.
