Dave, I know you will do what ultimate meets your psyche. All inputs have merits based on what you are shopping for :wink:
But let me suggest if not correct a conceptual error that you (and most of us) have made.
When you note that you were driving 60% then to 80%, please realize that this is "your" assessment of 60%-80% of the car's acapabilities. When I am at the track, I think I am driving at 95% of the car's potential (always leaving a margin for safety/error) only to be told by my daughter that when Kip took her for a ride in my own car on the same track, he was fatser and he was holding back LOL!
Second error, making a mod "allows me to feel the car more, it will make me learn faster" not true unless you have already maximized the potential of what you had before the mod. The mod will simply compensate what you did not master before. Why do you think people jump to R compound after 3-4 track days while we continue to preach to them it is too early!! And if you have mastered it, then indeed go to the next level - incrementally.
But I will repeat, with your CTSC to build more confidence with what you have you NEED the toe link/rear beam, sway bars, and yes the baffle before any other suspension mods. And there are quite a few other options in suspension, such as the Comptech Pro suspension .........
As for the seating .......... take the bottom cushion out and double loop your lap belt when the seat is back and then adjust the seat forwad to give you a more snug fit. And if you haven't started to get bruises on the left and right side of your left/right knees, then you are not going fast enough LOL!
