if you get a big wing, the car will probably push without a decent front splitter.

more power is always fun, more so for street/autox than track.

good coilovers could drop time significantly, but depends how much you want to spend. $1800-5k

Tires will drop more times than anything else. you think you ready for rcomp yet? maybe some NT01

Exactly...I'm doing autox and events and stuff and am getting better slowly. I just want a bit of a change.

What's going to make the most difference? You know I mainly do autox with limited track.

Would a set of $3k coilovers be better than 50hp? I already have a set of $1k coils.

I think I need to step up my suspension game before going r-comps.

What coilovers do you have now?

If you're willing to drop $3k in coilvers or power, I'm sure you can get more than 50 whp with $3k. Lol

tires without a doubt are the most performance bang for the buck. per dollar nothing will make more of an increase in performance. however, they are a consumable, so you will be buying them over and over again if you want to keep that same level of performance.

I agree with diepsh!t that a wing would need to be balanced with front aero too.

Its questionable how much performance a suspension will add. Its not like bolting on a set of $3k coils with automatically drop time like a set of tires would. You may actually be slower to start off with until you get everything dialed in correctly.

if you're bored with the car you could always sell it and try something different... like an NA inline 6 platform with RWD, perhaps.

If you add power, make sure you don't go over 485 whp. I heard from a pro more than that is not safe for street.
