So I'm going to be doing some autocross, and I've read in numorous threads that I shouldn't over do it if I'm a beginner. Well I am rebuilding my car top to bottom and I want to finish all the mods and never really have to mod again, so I've been thinking about this suspension setup. Keep in mind this car will be my daily as well as weekend mountain drive car, and autocrosser.

R&M Sway Bars
DC Sports Carbon Strut tower bars
Tanabe under body brace
Tokico Illumina's with Eibach Pro Kit (I'd go for Koni yellows but I was told they dont have adjustable rebound
some kind of camber kit for the front
17x8 wheels with some good rubber
prothane suspension bushing kit

Any opinions/comments welcome, thanks.
 
If it's your daily, remember Prothane = STIFF = not much fun on crappy urban/suburban roads. Well, really that's just a matter of what you're willing to live with. I love the feel of stiff suspension and engine vibration, but, I hope you don't have a wife or girlfriend that will have to ride in it. They'll gripe the whole time... (most, not the cool chicks) :D

Well, the autocross lot we drive on is really effed up LOL. As far as the g/f thing, if they don't like it they can walk haha. I don't mind a stiff ride, I just figured I'd want to do new bushings on a 12 year old car with 133k so while im doing it i might as well get prothanes...but should I bother changing the bushings at all? I mean do I have to worry about them rotting or whatnot.
