You are off to a good start. Don't go overboard changing everything all at once when you dont know what each piece will do. Add things slowly and test test test.
One part might end up neutralizing another.
Keep it simple and don't buy all that JDM crap.

Like Vietnameeh said start driving!

No reason to do the first one, and no reason to do the second one yet. +3 for drive the damn thing already, which you should've done before all that nonsense.

I agree with the statement that you may have too much on there. If you get the thing on track and it handles like ***, you have no idea what particular part of set of parts may be causing you problems. You've got camber adjust,sway adjusts and shock adjust (not to mention tire pressure adjusts too) all going on at the same time! Just be prepared to spend a few weekends on the track sorting the car out.

Get it on track and learn the feel of the car without having to add another variable (extra hp) to the equation. If the car push's or is too loose, it will be a lot easier (and safer) to work it out on the single cam. Getting loose and recovery is a lot easier going 40 mph through a turn, then going 60. I started out on track with 90hp and I've slowly worked my way up to where I am now. JMO, but I think that would defiantly be the best way to go to learn the car.

get some better brake pads also (hp+?), you'll cook your stock pads first lap just cuz you're a noobie

srsly you should've got some seat time before you started adding those crazy sway bars and the B.
