Does that sound like a good start? Camber bolts/alignment and new tread.

Maybe I will just buy some better brake pads for now instead of the wheels.
I also have not upgrade my fluids. I really need to do that!

Thanks again for all the help so far.
Getting into autox the cheapest upgrade that worked well for me was brake fluid swap. But I didn't do a front camber bolt. Having experienced 1.5 degrees of front camber I can now honestly say that is the best bang for your buck.

If you do that and new rubber on stock wheels; you can stay in CS and put up some competitive times. I did one year this way, then just tires the next year (17x8 though), and now for my third year I'm taking all that money I saved and doing a more complete STX package for the car. Early on, I wasted all of my money on seat time, and I continue to prioritize that.

Just my 2 cents in the bucket...
