You ought to run in STS, your car will probably be a lot more competetive there. Go for 2.5 deg. of camber (dont worry about wear issues... if your driving is at all like mine you'll wear your tires MORE evenly with all that camber) and get a rear bar. As far as upgrades from where you're at right now, you also might want to look into some stiffer linear-rate springs instead of the progressive-rate H&R's. Something to think about in 6 months when you once again feel like your car handles like crap, even though it's still 10 times better than it used to be. :)
