I'm new to the club here. I have been considering various performance mods. ((I bought an 03 WRX a few months ago)). But, I am seriously considering getting into autocross and maybe rally, so I want to chart a well thought out path on this...

Since I will be new to amature racing, I think that it's probably a good idea (if not necesary) to keep the car eligable for stock class. I have new rims and tires on order... that's the obvious place that I'm OK to start with.

After skimming the SCCA rulebook on allowable mods for stock class, I see that rear swaybars, and modified intakes are not allowed. These were the mods that I had on my wish list as next to do.

The advice that I am looking for here is what are the most benificial/cost effective mods to make to a WRX, and still qualify for stock class. (ie: for handling, is it a good idea to improve thorugh better springs instead of swaybars?)
