Chances are your stock dampers are worn out. They wear out very quickly under hard driving, even with totally inexperienced drivers.

Based on what you told me, try this:

CSG Spec Flex A. Stock sways. Better tires.

Lower than your expected budget, addresses everything you listed.

Exactly what I list above was good enough for this yesterday. I run a stock radiator with my turbo, but have trackspec hood louvers. Make your car more efficient, rather than forcing things.

Hey Mike, I've seen you mention before that even PP shocks wear out after about 4-5 track days when driven hard. How many track days would you expect an experienced driver to get out of the CSG Flex A before needing to rebuild?
