Default New road race track driver, need suspension help.

pretty stock b18 non vti set up with headers and intake add ons. looking to do suspension upgrade first but am pretty lost since i don't have experience. s tech lowering springs w/ koni yellow shocks? or kyb agx shocks and eibach gc coilovers? take note i have no other upgrades really. im trying to have a balanced car. not a power house or upgrading too much of one thing. its going to be a modded daily driver/ sponsored track day fun car. next things on list is sway bars and other chassis reinforcement then internals upgrades. let me know of any advice! thanks a bunch.

Stop right there and dont buy any go fast parts.
What is your driving/ track experience?

If you have none then dont spend money on go fast parts.
PM me.
Lets move you in a positive slow manner.
Seat time is key here, not how many go fast parts you have and you cant drive the car.
I know many a good driver who can whip *** on fast track cars in bone stock cars.

This. If you're new as the title states, you'll want the car as stock as possible. So many times people want to mod their car so it'll be "track ready", but keeping your car as is and getting as much seat time as possible should be your goal
