All of this advice has been very helpful. Seems that the RSB is the way to go.

I think that is a best option by far. That and next time you get tires buy some good quality tires. Sticky tires will give you better bang for your buck than any other mod. If you are like me you will get hooked to track days and will find yourself with a seperate set of rims and tires for the track! Have fun.

You gotta SWAY to PLAY!!! Sway Bar FTW!!!

Also, for autox especially for drivers without much experience, the time is more driver dependent than car dependent. What i mean is the skill in learning the racing line, racing apex, and driving techniques mean more than car's upgrades. Once you are able to pull out the car's full potential, then the faster time laps will become more car dependent than driver dependent.

Try to read these really nice articles http://www.drivingfast.net/techniques/racing-line.htm
