I know a few people with expeience that say the ph1, iss the most fun RS as standard, so if you don't like it I'd change. Not everyone likes the slightly nervous back end, but it's the quickest set up for a FWD car, you'd probably shart yourself in a 306 rallye!;) ;)
LSD improves grip and traction, not handling. It's the suspension set up and how well the LSD is set up that determines the handling. Few years ago one of the mags (evo or tgear I think) tried the ek9, declared it the worst type r made. Can't decide wether to buy a car on that, but there are...

Your brake pedal deactivates cruise when you hit the brakes, the switch that controls that is under the brake somewhere, this is broken (that's what happened to mine)
IMO Throttle Bodies are a bit OTT. Seen plenty people get ITB's, then a couple of months later they're off the car or for sale, economy takes quite a hit.
