Oh, I forgot.

Change your alignment.

Maximize the front camber with the stock camber slots. Set your front end toe-in to 0 degrees. Set a small amount of toe-in on the rears and set the camber to as much as you can with the selected toe-in (they interact). Use RE71-Rs on 17" rims. You will run 225 wide tires in front instead of the standard 205s. That's all Bridgestone supplies. That's what you want anyway because it increases front end grip.

Based on the responses below, I plan to change alignment as recommended and use LCAs in the front to get the camber needed so that i don't wear the outside of the track tires so fast. I'm also now convinced that i need to sell my 18" OZ wheel set and get another set of 17" wheels as my dedicated track wheel set [with NT01s - 225 (or 235?) in front and 255 in rear]. The original stock wheels will have the RE71R autocross/rain tires mounted (225 in front and 255 in rear). I also plan to install roll bar extension, race seats, harnesses, underdrive pulley and deep sump pan kit - all recommendations for track use.

Some of the track mods listed above are not allowed in SCCA C Street class but are allowed in the Street Touring Roadster (STR) class - at least based on my interpretation/understanding of the rules. STR is the class i plan to run in autocross.

Another round of questions based on suggestions below:
1. Front or rear adjustable sway bar? Neither? Both?
2. Will 235 fit on front with LCAs and stock struts?
