Everything sounds good for track time but you may hurt the performance for autocross. I think your new LSD may work against you on the really tight turns (unless your only fixing inside wheel spin) and the super thick sway bars may hurt you on the bumpy turns. That said, I love your list. I'd go for that LSD over mine any day, coilovers would be awesome but I like the sways I've put on and would keep them.

I wont comment on your list since its your car. Go to a track day, learn what it feels like to spin out, what it feels like to over steer and catch it, etc etc.

Sign up for a day at Thunderhill raceway, IMO, best beginner track in NorCal.

have fun!
