Hi there, as said in the title I drive an 07 Mazda 3, it's the 2.3L hatchback, and over the last while I've been needing to replace more and more parts, so I've decided to promote her from daily to project and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for affordable (not necessarily budget) suspension upgrades that can be done fairly easily to get some better handling out of her before I look into Balls-to-the-Wall mods for her, Thanks in advance :)

Have a look at Corksport for ideas Mazdaspeed | Mazda Performance Parts Check their blog too
Been where you are now with my daily drive and kinda my street / track car now.
Suspension - What do you want to do exactly ? Lower or replace to coilovers.
Bracing front / mid / rear ? Camber front and rear ? Bushings ?
Better handling - start with better braking (better pads / larger front rotor) and tires (UHP summer only)
Either way .. I and others here can steer you with suggestions

Mine is a '13, but, I just installed kyb rear shocks and Moog springs. Also in the rear, Im installing a CorkSport rear anti-roll bar and bushings (backordered but coming soon). In the front Im installing kyb struts (backordered). For me, that should really change things up. I already notice a big difference with just shocks, springs, wheels and tires.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, unfortunately while looking over her and doing some work underneath I found out she's had some... Issues, and they make the upgrades I had planned kind of pointless, but thanks a bunch anyway, and maybe you guys can help me in future Mazda endeavors as I plan on getting a newer car and doing right by her
