0. Seat time.
1. Tires.
1.5 Seat Time
2. Sway bars.
2.5 Seat time
3. Springs/shocks/coilovers
3.5 Seat Time

#3 is a compromise. If it is a daily driver, slightly stiffer springs may be a good start, followed by good shocks, but if you want to play with height, and make a pure track car, coilovers are the way to go.

Come out on your stock stuff and learn to drive and how the car handles, and then make your decisions. DSMs aren't bad to start.

Way down the list. Strut bars. The possible exception might be a solid unhinged rear bar for the DSM. If there is a 3 point triangulated bar, even better.
