Default Starting to become interested in autoxing/roadracing.......

Well since I always liked to race around virtual track in Gran Turismo and get the best times possible, I wanna try it for myself in real life with my slow Accord

Since the first and foremost thing for the car is the suspension, what components should I get? The only suspension part I have right now are Apexi WS coilovers, which arent dampening adjustable, so I cant really do anything with the ride...... But what other stuff should I do to the car to make it handle better? Im thinking of getting a TL-S rear sway bar, so what other stuff should I get?

first thing you should is run a few times in stock form (for auto x at least)

there are many threads here which recommend a decent amount of seat time before modifying

Just leave your car like it is and go drive.

At this point, your weakest link is the driver - not the car.
