Here is my setup, what next?
Alright, found a surprise mod today while out changing the front brakes earlier.
I have KYB Gas Adjustable shocks in the front.
I knew I had some stiff fornt shocks, from all tests that I have done outside, the car but KYB adjustables, I have soem stiff shocks, not nearly as stiff as the fornt in the rear, that feel they may be wearing out a little.
I have a BMR 2 point STB, and 1le 32/21mm sway bars with endlinks.
1LE tranny mount, and poly torque arm bushing
What do you guys think I could add next for autocrossing? I am still planning for Kuhmo v700s, for the next major mod but would like to consisder some other stuff?
1LE LCAs?, my stock ones got a few dings in them, maybe a 1LE panhard rod? Springs? or shoud I attack rear shocks?

Since you are modifying your car I will geuss ESP by what you have already added.
Be carefull with what you spend your money on and you will be VERY happy. Based on what you already have you have wasted money on your STB. I have one but it was after everything else. You know FS rules right? Lets assume you are moving from FS so you already have brake pads and a few other things.
What will make a ESP car faster than an FS car?
Tires and wheels.
(I would just go strait for 315's as you will want them eventually anyhow.)
Springs and shocks
(both to increase camber and the control of it)
Limited Slip
(Trust me on this one-the T2R is the only diff to use if you want improved autocross perf.)
Then you have various other things that you can do such as seats and such. Once you have these parts it kind of becomes a fine tuning process.
You will see very little if any gain from lca's and go for the rod end PHB. If you go to big tires you will need it.
Shocks are a good start but they need to be matched to the springs so you will need to pick those too.
And I have tested KYB AGX's compared to revalved Bilsteins and there is NO COMPARISON you will be much much happier with Bilstein revalves or Konis.

Cool, stuff, the STB helped more then you think myy car had a history of fornt end frame damage that ws repaired it helped out.
i think I am going to have to plan straight for wheels and tires.
As for 315s, I have heard different things, that the tires are too wide, and something like 245s would be better suited, I mean I do not really have much of a problem of breaking the rearend loose remeber it is a v6, with stock WS6 rear axle on it.
