Generally how many auto-x and track events does it take to wipe out a set of springs? Or how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? I am basically learning how to drive this season and will work more car stuff over the winter.
I can run STS during SCCA sponsored events, but many of the local clubs have their own "regional" classes that are similar but not exactly like SCCA. At regional events I am somewhere between stock and "improved". If I put my old small bumpers back on I guess I could be totally legal for stock class which usually has the most exciting competition. I know that to be competitive in DSP you need something other than a MK2 VW. Subaru 2.5L RS and VR6 MK3 GTi comes to mind when thinking about how I will get my butt kicked 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. :)
