Well Currently I have a full Skunk2 Stainless ehxaust system with a testpipe (cat bypass), Koni/H&R yellow racing suspension, Front Tower Back (mugen knockoff) and some 17" CR318's.

CF Spoon Lip
CF Monster Style Hood
OEM Type R Sideskirts
Comptech Icebox
Skunk 2 Intake Manifold
Greddy Stainless Header
Upgrade All of my bars
B18c1 engine / tranny swap

I havent heard the best things about using Rota wheels for autocrossing. You may wish to consider a more durable wheel.

Nothing is done until you get an ITR rear swaybar. Don't worry about the front swaybar, the oem one is great.

 

you're wasting a lot of cash on cosmetic crap- it will get beat down during any type of racing. Cosmetics belong on the show kaa, not the race kaa. There's tons more that you can do to your suspension- tons.... do some research and learn more about the sport that you want to play in- I'm sure you'll be surprised at how you have to change your thinking. Not only that but you may want to de-modify your car so that you aren't in a super killer class... lean the ropes first then mod your car.,

The test pipe you have on your current setup kicks you out of the STS class for autox and into DSP(I think). My advice would be to start racing with the car the way it is and then go from there. Chances are that your upgrade goals will probably change once you start racing.

do these mods starting from bottom working your way up.

 

Well the thing is I kinda want some show to my car for cruisin days but I also want to autox what do you guys suggest?

 

ditch the 17" and go 15" as you've said- install a bushing kit- upgrade the springs- Race a full season

then figure out where to go
