The short answer is
Struts (no spring changes)
Front Sway Bar
Drop in Air Cleaner
Tires
Brake Pads

That's about it.

Thanks, knew I forgot something. Not sure how light the stock STI Forged wheels are, but they probably aren't that heavy...

The STi BBS are *great* wheels for AutoX... very light... I'd guess in the 15 lb range, which for a 17"x7.5" is very light!

And let me reitterate one of the items on Dean's list: tires! The RE070's are great tires, but if you're going to run in A-Stock (and not in NAS, aka Street Tire A-Stock) a set of R-compound tires will likely shave 2 second off a 60 second course! Tires are *the biggest* mod you can do next to seat time.
