My order would be #3 first, then do everything in my power to get #6 done. Then #4 or just get a set of springs with a linear rear that is already dialed in, also before your first event if possible. The rest would come after all that unless you are actually having issues. Seriously get that OSG in it will transform the car.
All the other stuff I essentially have and can throw on the car, save linear rear springs.

Did some wrenching on the car Sunday... Front Brembos are on, but there's still air in the lines, somewhere. Going to rebleed on Friday after work. At least now all the fluid in the system is fresh! Installed the Hotchkis FSB on full stiff, then realized I was missing 2 nuts needed for my adjustable endlinks. I'll have to pick up some fresh hardware and install on Friday. Fresh oil change for good measure. Skipped the steering rack bushings, may try those Friday after I address the other items.

Long time no update...
So I've been codriving my friend's 14 STI hatch at a couple of events. His original codriver for solo nationals bailed a few months ago, so he had an open seat in STU... Which I took. It'll be my first time at nats!
I'm still in the running to win STU locally, as long as I keep beating my nearest competition. I think I can miss 1 event safely...
A few weeks ago I started getting the itch to go faster, again... Looked around and found a silver 08 base w/ 160k in a neighboring state. Said friend rode with me and picked it up. Not bad, a bit rough around the edges, but the price was right and it's nothing some upgraded parts can't fix! I started the process of swapping parts over last week. Bought new some Z1 HFCs, since they're the only company I'm aware of that makes a 100cpi HFC. Transferring literally everything else, save the SPC toe bolts. Pics soon...
