Eibach front/rear swaybars (*way* stiffer than stock)
4-2-1 header (ACE 350) and tune (Zach at CSG)

Obviously there's other ways to get there, I might go to coilovers next year but good lowering springs + Bilsteins makes for a great street/track compromise IMO.

I resorted to header/tune and sways this year because spring/damping rates are kinda soft for serious track usage and I compete in time trials and it was close this year!

Header and tune greatly improved drive from mid-rpm, more so than expected, but top end power not much more vs. stock '17+. Definitely not required.
