Default What is needed

besides new shocks and springs to make a suspension a great autocross car while it still being comfortably driveable on the road? it will have tokico illumina shocks and eibach sportline springs, was looking around and noticed people have strut bars, new lca's and other stuff to help handling, what do all these parts do and which would be best to add to my suspension set up for a street driveable but highly competitive auto-x car?

Bridgestone Potenza RE-01Rs are the tire to have now. sadly the only size they make for 15" wheels are 195/50. they also cost about ~$30 more each or ~$125 more for the set shipped than 205/50 Azenis. i think im gena be sticking with the 205 Azenis. apparently the potenzas arnt that much better...hopefully Falken will stepup soon with a better tire in the same price range

which? thereslike 6different type Advans. the streetable ones dont come in wheel sizes smaller than 16". their tread ratings are very low(except for the S.4.). and their very expensive.. if they were so great, the big competitors at events would have them, but their dont, their all on the RE-01R's or Azenis.

how many miles do you usually get out of a set of Azenis? because I cant afford to be replacing tires very often and i do drive quite a bit. so for the other stuff besides tires would i be good with getting the tokico illumina shocks, eibach sportline springs, and a good rear sway bar? or is there other stuff i would need for a daily driver/autox car
