For me...

Timing - 2018 season, but waiting for the weather to warm up and salt to come off the roads.

1) 18x10's and 285 RE-71R's at all 4 corners. What offset front and rear?
2) Intake
3) Tune? I'm not 100% clear on the SCCA's verbiage and allowances...
4) JRZ or KWv3?
5) Camber plates
6) OSG - maybe 2019
7) Front bar (carryover from BS)
8) Exhaust (carryover from BS)
9) Brakes...more than happy with the stock/sport set up
10) Seat and harness

285 tires will be happier on 11" wide wheels

2) Intake

Uprev and Ecutec tunes would be legal. Big no-no's are stand-alones and hacking up the wiring harness.

4) JRZ or KWv3?

You'll probably want springs stiffer than the OTS options have. Also, you can't convert the rear to a true coilover as that would be a geometry change.

5) Camber plates

You want control arms, camber plates are for strut type suspensions which we don't have.

6) OSG - maybe 2019

This will have a noticeable effect on the balance and handling depending on how it's set up.

7) Front bar (carryover from BS)

You might want to disconnect/remove the rear bar once you get stiffer springs on the car. It was a noticeable improvement when I did it on mine.

8) Exhaust (carryover from BS)

Replace the factory cats with some HFC's

9) Brakes...more than happy with the stock/sport set up
10) Seat and harness

While you can do aftermarket seats currently, there's a proposal out now to require factory seats when the factory seats had airbags built in. Just be aware the money you spend on seats might be down the drain in a couple years.
Just my thoughts on your list

Sorry...meant the Camber Kit that eliminates the eccentric bolt and holds your alignment. New control arms...some day.

Currently have 18x10 Forgestar rears...would be cheaper just to get another set of 18x10's with the correct offset for the front.

What spring rate do you recommend for rear?

for the z, these are one in the same. there are more eccentric eccentric bolts, but most of the camber kits on the market involve replacement of the upper control arm for the front, and the two lateral links in the rear.
