I just got the Hotchikis, which is probably the best bar you can buy on the market. Car feels a little better, but I don't feel like it is anything earth shattering. I would definitely go with

#1
Sway bars, front camber arms and brake cooling kit, alignment

#2
Coilover, rear camber/toe arms, corner balance, alignment

#3
Differential

You can go with bushings and stuff, but I don't want to get to that point.

My 510s are custom valved for the springs. The adjustments do work as I nearly flew off the track with the suspension at the 60% level vs. 100% stiff. But then my best times were the same as stock vs suspension at 100% stiff. I do have to say the average mean time did come down as the car was way easier to drive. I either drove really fast when my car was stock or I just struggle with the new suspension
