Yup, leave it stock and go attend an autocross.

After a few events, you'll want wheels and r-compound tires. Stay in stock class.

Or (again, after a few events stock), make the jump to ST with shocks, springs, a rear ARB, and a nice set of tires, and enjoy being pwned by spec 89 Civic hatchbacks...

The point is this: After a few events, you'll know yourself what you need. Rotation? Less Roll? More Grip? Check, Check, Check.
