It doesn't help that I'm constantly running against the current lap record holders who have reset the lap record each time they ran, except once. I'm still very happy with how things went though, as it was my first year in time trials and only my 2nd year at the track.
I was on the OEM Ohlins spring rates (~343lbs all around) with 225 Hoosier R6's, AP Sprint BBK, and a 93 tune. For next year I am getting the Ohlins revalved and going to 650lbs in the front and 750 in the rear. Also going for an intake, header/overpipe/HFC frontpipe, and an LSD as well while also switching to 225 Maxxis tires. I'd like to keep running the Hoosiers, but I won't have the points unless I can get a dyno reclass (unlikely). I'm interested in seeing if I can at least somewhat maintain grip levels through the suspension and LSD upgrades while also dramatically increasing power (hopefully).

That's not a bad idea, but I'm afraid that like you, I'll want to make changes in the future that a single adjustable won't allow. I know I'm not good enough yet, but the idea is to grow as a driver and car together. It sounds like you're doin great!
I wish I had the points available for Hoosiers, but we're starting with a 6 point car because it's auto. Technically it was a 10 point car when we drove it off the lot because we have a factory spoiler that adds 4 points too, but we'll probably remove that in favor of a diffuser or just nothing or a big wing that's worth the points.
