Whuups, forgot to answer the first Q 
ST would probably be the better place to start, because once you start on comp tires, everything else feels so unbearably slow that you can't bring yourself to buy lesser tyres... [or am I just that obsessed? 
], which is why I haven't bought any stickies for my car quite yet.

Thanks, I get it now.
But the reason I ask (about st/comp) is that I allready have comp tires tha I use for H-stock. So I wouldn't be buying anything in that department. Even still, start out with ST, move up to comps later?

I know everyone thinks they are a great driver, and in most cases they are not. I know I'm not. But when I'm driving I'm looking at everything not just the cars in front of me. Maybe it's all the schools I've been to this year with instructors telling me to look through the cars infront. Look ahead here, look ahead there

I know. I usually try to have 2 seconds between me and the car ahead, but this was some jerkoff turning out in front of me from behind some parked cars so I couldn't see him (he wasn't even looking from what I could tell).
If I decide to go ahead with the brakes, I'll probably go all out with the suspension, since I'll be bumped anyway. I'm thinking of ground controls, already have konis, sway bars, bushings and all that. That would leave me with a pretty slow car in a fast class tho. eventually I'd try and get some power too.
See the thing thats nagging me is if I do anything I'll want to do everything. Should I go down the road that eventually leads to prepared?

civicsiracer, do you reccomend going to a school, I heard it does wonders. Unfortunately, there arent any in my area
, but if i get some good reccomendations, and have the money (which I probly wont anyway) I could make a road-trip out of it.

The autocross season is winding down so you will prolly not find any autocross schools this year.
http://www.autocross.com/evolution is the place to go for the Evolution Schools. Also your local chapter should have Novice/Autocross Schools like we do. We actually had two this year due to the overwhelming response to have a 2nd one I taught at both of them
