id vote against the cat back and brake pads for autox. you dont gain much
power from just a cat back (although you can lose some weight) and they can
be noisy and expensive.
you dont get your brakes hot in autox, so street compound pads will work the
best (more friction at lower temp, get into the heat range faster)
kinda the same thing with struts- wont help you that much until you are
faster.
r tires however are a different story. they make your car much faster than
doubling the horsepower (for example), and its a new world of skill to
learn.
