1. Alignment (by me)
2. Tires
3. wheels for tire above
If I could find sticky tires in OEM fitment, and got a "bonus", then
4. brake ducts.
Nothing more needed to go faster than 99% of the cars at the track.

1. alignment
2. tires
3. shocks
brakes becomes top 3 for rr. they make a huge difference on autox going with ss lines and hawk hp+, but not nearly as much as above.

Seat, harnesses
Tune the stock engine.

Not as sexy has HP adders, but much these will get you to much faster and safer driver, then Bolt On HP addations.

Autox:
Seat time - run high pressures in your tires

Front bar upgrade
Alignment - lower pressure in tires

Tires - you'll waste your tires without an alignment

You missed the 2.5
All the rest is good advice! I only have 3 track days so far but tires and pads really helped bought ducts but haven't installed them yet. I was 3rd fastest in blue the 2nd and 3rd day. I would also stick with one track so you aren't learning tracks and your car at the same time. Have fun and don't go for the C-5 crap. They just have more time in the cars we'll be kicken their butts soon!
