If you had checked the FAQ here or searched for any of the hundreds of similar posts, you would have seen that typically people are recommended to just take their stock car to the track. There's no need or benefit (for track purposes) to making any mods before your first track day. (Some people suggest changing brake pads and fluid as a pre-emptive strike, but IMO you can wait to do that until your second or third track day unless you run at a track that is really hard on brakes.)
I have no comment on the Teins. You are likely to have issues if you run without stagger, unless you do a lot of other suspension modifications.

Um, the right way is to do your research BEFORE buying parts.

Tein RAs are used by two honda challenge S2000s out here on the east coast
