Parts for the track?

Hey guys Im getting my Vacation pay next week and want to spend a bit of it on the X and wanted to know what should I get?
I really want something to help my X out on the track, maybe in the coroners.. so on.. rims and rubbers are 2 much so I was thinking:

-Hotchkis 32mm Sway Bars
-Stanless Steel Brake Lines
-Whiteline Roll Center Kit

but still these are things I just came up with at the moment

Sway bar + Brake Lines + a good brake fluid.
I'd go with a Techna-Fit brake line; its well priced compared to the $200 dollar kit.

On my Lexus IS300 I upgraded the shocks, springs, sways, etc. The first thing that I noticed when I got my EVO was that it had a lot more suspension movement than I was used to. Obviously the car handles great... but it rolls more than I'd like. So personally I would do sway bars.

GO ON 3... is there any "issues" you noticed with the car when you were tracking it? Like anything you felt needed to be improved?

Swaybar first. very noticeable around corners. Adjustable Swaybar endlinks really help too as you can preload the swaybar, and the stock endlinks can be flakey. Brake lines+fluid+pads.
