Since you asked again, I will give you my $0.02 again.


Your NSX in its current configuration is at least 4 steps ahead of you in its capabilities but it comes with a price in the hands of a not skilled driver.


The toe link and rear beam bushings will help you have a more predictable rear and it will signal you before it totally lets go for a spin. Do it if you track your car.


Unless you are really at a track that is demanding in brakes and you are aggressive with your brakes, I wouldn't worry about ducting yet and there are other options. You can take the dust shield off first. [I saw you asking about Stoptech brakes; unless you are tracking at 90+F they will do just fine without ducting and with your CTSC.]   


OEM brake lines are fine. When you swap to BBK they will send you SS lines.


Suspension is not needed yet unless at the speeds you are driving you see nose dive upon braking, or way too much lean upon taking turns. If the nose is diving, then you might start considering some stiffer options. If the body is leaning too much, go with thicker sway bars - Dali makes a great one for track and targa in 1" thickness. And 5-6 point harness will do wonders in feeling more secure - it is good for some 2-3 seconds off your times!


Baffled oil pan is good especially if you are to transition to R compounds. For street tires it is marginal but it is a cheap safety to have. I would do it if I were you.


As others have said, many owners jump with mods before mastering the limits of what they have thus using mods to enhance lacking driving skills or guts. I agree in incrementally adding mods and appreciating what each mod does to the car so you can adjust it to your driving. My first mod was the sway bars followed by Bilsteins, then better pads ....... it took me 6 years and some 60 track days to transition to R compound, 9 years to get to a CTSC to keep up, 10 years using OEM calipers (last year went with Stoptech), ..... and I wasn't a slouch with the local weekend boy racers because I focused on mastering more what I had within my budget.


Sometimes when I read the recommendations by others, I just laugh ........ it is more showing off of bravado knowledge than addressing the specific need of the OP. YMMV :wink:
