Nice pics. How close are your times to your competition?

Too bad that the 19% pulley upgrade places you into SM class. How did you do for the day? How many autocross events (years driven) have you attended?

I started like you without the suspension mods but in SM class I was coming in 9th to 12 place each month out of about 12 to 18 drivers.

You have plenty of power mods. Suspension is key-
Lowering springs is a step in the right direction but the ride quality suffers for daily use and the stock shocks get worn out pretty quick- about one year. Koni yellow shocks are good. Even Koni FSD shocks are good.

Coilovers are expensive and a bigger step. Many to choose from.

Camber adjustment front and rear is key. Front adjustable camber plates and lower rear adjustable control arms allow for you to tune you suspension and alignment to make better use of your tires- very important whether on the track or for autocross.

Wheels are usually 15x7 or 15x8, 16x7 or wider for less weight and better selection of R compound tires. tires of choice would be Hoosier A6 or Kumho V710. Street rubber could be used but is not as fast. Tire outer diameter is usually smaller than stock about 22.8" vs 24.3" stock height.

If you don't have a budget for these things and you don't really care about placing high in SM class then just enjoy and keep driving. You'll gain experience in any event.
