Default Suspension Component recomendations

I got a set of PFADT featherlites, but I'm curious about supporting components to optimize the setup. I'm right down the road from NCM and plan on spending more time there as well as hitting more autocross events this year.

Should I worry about upgrading the sway bar(s) yet? Any other components?

Any recommendations are greatly welcome.

change only one thing at a time.
Keep a sharp eye on what you think you want to improve. then ask questions.
Right now just get seat time & instruction

That's my normal approach, but I wanted to make sure putting these coilovers on by themselves didn't make the car unpredictable. I'll likely at least get some upgraded endlinks, but that's about it. Any better/more reliable brands?

ok at that point corner weight so your sure it wasn't messed up by the change.
end links, LG they are Teflon bushed so they stay quiet

Thanks! I got an appointment for a race alignment and to have the car corner weighted before the event. Can't wait!

If you want to go faster you need to spend money on a driving coach. Parts are a true waste of money for most people.

I'll admit though that buying parts is a lot more fun than learning how to dive better.
