Default Simple mods while staying in stock class?

I really would like to stay in the stock class for autox, so which mods can I do that wont really kick me out but still be useful? Im itching to modify and have just bought a new h/u, speakers, sub and amp. Any other interior stuff that can be done? I've got two sets of rims, one with hoosiers also, so thats not needed either. Is there anything left?

You're allowed to do an exhaust, and you can change shocks as long as they use the stock mounting points (no springs tho). Advancing your timing is free and can give you a few HP.

I race in SCCA at G-Stock street tire class. All my mods listed below are legal for the class (besides the pistons and Final Drive, but hey, how can they tell ) I would highly reccommend the H&R 5mm wheel spacers with the longer studs. It seemed to help the car track better around the turns. After that, I wold also reccommend the Endless CC-X brake pads for the front. I think those were the greatest addittion to the car. The stop AWSOME, and you can brake alot later b4 the turn. They are about 250$ a set, but I think they are totally worth it! I am still working oin getting some R compounds, but I might wait till next season for those. Hope I could help!

I agree, my single best investement was better brake pads. I have Porterfield's R4S and love them. The initial grab is AMAZING.

My next best investment was harness belts. Locking yourself to the car, frees up your arms and legs to drive instead of bracing your body.

My last best investment was allowing pro's to drive my car with me in it. I saw what I had to do to go faster
