Evo X MR Autocross & Track Day Setup

Hi All,
I am looking for advice on part and suspension set up my 2011 Evo X MR for autocross and track days. Any advice/commentary/experience you have is appreciated.

Background
I autocrossed the MR 4 times last year and autocrossed my 09' STi 3 times the year before (2011). The MR has exponetialy less body roll then the STi! I saw improvements each time I went out but didn't race enough to stay consistant.

Goal
Run 8-12 local autocrosses this season. STU class. (Autocross school. No nationals)
2 Track days at the Joliet Autobahn and Blackhawk Farms Raceway. (Driving Schools)
Keep the car bearable for weekend driving. (Around town driving and < 2 hour road trips once a month)

Current Setup
Stock engine and trans
Cobb front and rear sway bars
Whiteline front and rear end links
GTWorx springs
Whiteline roll center kit (STU legal?)
-1.2* camber at all four corners
0.0 total toe front. 0.14 total toe rear.
WedSSport TC-105N 18x9.5 +10 (slight rub on unrolled rear fenders and front wheel liner)
Facorty tires with 13k miles/4 autocrosses
SSP Undertray

Waiting to be Installed
KW v3 INOX Coilovers
AMS FMIC
Cobb Hard Pipe Kit
Cosworth Intake

Advice
Besides seat time what other mods do you guys recommend and what suspension settings?

My thoughts:
Wear the factory tires out then replace with RE-11's or StarSpecs
Vorshlag front camber plates
Rear pillow ball mounts (or will the factor mounts be ok?) http://www.lancershop.com/customer/p...cat=159&page=1
Adjustible rear lower control arms

Turbo back exhaust
STU legal tune

The roll center kit and undertray bump you out of STU. The FMIC and pipe kit are not legal in STU either.

More camber! Get the plates next

+1 on above, although I don't foresee a problem with an undertray at the regional level.

More camber....you should be able to get more with the factory bolts.

I wouldn't sweat rear pillowball mounts.

As many legal bushings as you can.
