Default What do i want? - recommended parts list.

Good Morning guys / gals,

This is my first post in scoobynet as so far i've been able to find all the info i've needed without even having to ask a question, such is the quality and sound advice of the forum. Heres hoping this continues and you guys can help me out a bit.

I have a blob wrx running 345/330 fully stripped weighing an approx' 1300kg (maybe a little bit heavier.) The car will be used mainly on track for events such as super lap scotland. Its still a work in progress and now the time has come to focus on getting it round the corners.

as far as handling goes the current spec is pretty lacking, as to say ive only purchased a set of coilovers and tyres.

My question is this, What would you guys add to the list with around a further £1000 to spend

spec as of 24/6/15
HSD monopro coilovers - 12kg/mm & 8kg/mm.
Nankang ns2r 120 tyres - 225/45r17

Wouldn't adding some fat anti roll bars increase the understeer a bit since the spring rates are already so high? Or by adding a set front and rear and having a bigger difference between the two of them in terms of stiffness, would this let me dial put what ever understeer I may have?

ALK and bushes look like a good investment though thanks for your advice mate

Anti roll bars would be dependant on size with regards to under steer to over steer, bigger rear than the front can dial out under steer
