2 more maintenance items:
Sway bar is nice to have, but you should drive without it first. Shocks can wait, unless your OEM ones are worn.

You should also get an alignment, at least to make sure the toe settings are ok. My AP1 comes stock way out of spec. I run with these number:
- Front: -1.7* (max) camber, 5.8* caster (whatever it takes to max out camber), 0 toe.
- Rear: -2* camber, 0.3* toe-in total (or about 1/8" total)

Thank you for that, I'll check out both the axle bolts in rear and subframe bolts today.

Both right shocks seem to be covered in a bit of oil, I'm sure they are at the end of there life that's why I'm changing them.

I'll also be checking all the alignment bolts today, I really hope they loosen up.

Dumb question here but,
Im going to the track for the first time also,
I hear rattling when the engine is warm
Is a new TCT really necessary for track use?

The frozen caster adjusters can be expensive. That can limit negative camber, and you need all that you can get.

Ehh... I'd argue that it falls under "Alternate components which are normally expendable and considered re-placement parts... may be used provided they are essentially identical to the standard parts..., are used in the same location, and provide no performance benefit."
