Not that you're asking, but if I bought an STi, all I'd add is an adjustable rear sway and get an alignment that increases neg. camber. I think the rear sway kicks you out of the Stock class in AutoX though. I'd probably get a custom tune for the ECU too.

Congrats on an excellent car.
If you want to stay in stock classes, a really beefy (i.e. 37mm) front swaybar helps the STI tremendously because it prevents the loss of negative camber up front while turning.

...there's more than one way to skin a cat, er make an STI turn.
