Front bar and SS lines can wait, as long as the existing lines are in good condition. I second Oleg's Carbotech suggestion and would add front brake ducting as a high priority.

xp10 front, xp8 rear is what most guys seem to be running. The front sway definitely isn't necessary unless you've gone to a squared tire setup.
I've got a set of ap2 wheels that would be perfect for track wheels. Only minor curbing on the rears although they probably need to be painted as I've experimented with bring one of them to a full polish. Let me know if you're interested.

Realistically you really only need the rollbar.. with brake fluid. If you go back a few pages, there were a lot of suggestions already. I did my entire first weekend on oem, and probably could've done the 2nd weekend as well.

^^^Most mid-a track goers (myself included) like the carbotech xp10/xp8 F/R combo for brake pads. If you've never tried them they're worth a shot. Great bite and handle heat well.
To the rest - hello downforce
Won't add nearly as much downforce as the apr 200 wings most of you guys are running. But it is more street friendly and I'll be able to recoup every cent of this investment if/when I decide to upgrade. For those who don't know this is the CR spoiler (it's a replica) freshly painted NFR.

You can finaly complete the CR look you always wanted.

Back from VIR. Ran a 2:16.something which was good enough for third. This was with RA1s.
I was going a lot faster than i have before at VIR due to Wing, suspension, and wheels all being different since i was last there a year ago.
The good news is I recogonize lots of ways to go faster at VIR. All of which boil down to either brake less or brake smarter.
The Honda Challenge guys were all great.

You can go higher once you go TT. Stay away from Carbotec RP3s.
