I am currently building a scca track car and need some advice on what to put on my car. The car is driven daily so it needs to be somewhat legal on the road. So far I have
Front-
1. Addco 25mm sway bar
2. TTR K-brace
3. Front poly control arm bushings
4. Gm FSTB
Rear
1. Koni yellows w/ sportlines
2. Addco 25mm sway bar
3. RKsport RSTB
4. H-Body rear brace
Anything else that you guys can think of that would make my car handle much better. I want to be able to rock on the course. I know some sick CO would be nice, but this is a beatter so I am trying to have a budget.

Why dont you put the yellows on the front and finish installing your sportlines for the front?
check out the 'feeler:rear tie bar' thread at the top of this forum's page.
Wanting a nice set of black 17's with mint tires? Pm me.

x2 yellows are sportlines are among the best suspension we can have.
for autoXing though, i would recomend ground control coilovers instead of the sportlines, they are good but the coilovers are much tighter. the sportlines are more for the street spirited warrior that likes to go fast around exit ramps and curves but still want a decently smooth ride.

Tie bar's are not that valuable. I would save the money for some ground controls. The two things you need most are:
1. Driving Skills
2. Tires
Address number 1 before number 2, otherwise the tires will cover your mistakes. After you take care of those, I would upgrade the brakes.
well for the price i say they are plenty 'valuable' but valuable in the sense that its a pretty cheap part.
i think my rear sway bar did more for me then the tie bar did WITH it, but i believe it does help. might not for major cornering like you do (as you've said) but on the street i think it does it's job nicely.

And it looks good.
But yeah, it's the driver that is the biggest mod you can make to your car.
I hope to do some track days once the 'blu is done.
Good luck with your endeavors.

Especially on a road course. After the brakes, go for lightening and stiffening, then worry about suspension. That way, you already know what the car can/can't do and you can change it by changing components, but still be in control.
