Here's my Top 10 mods for Stock class autocross:

1. Custom-made ultralight wheels (under 9# each) (set of 8, see below).
2. Two sets of R-comp tires, one for dry, one for wet days.
3. Custom Koni double-adjustable shock/strut inserts.
4. Custom front swaybar, adjustable for force and corner-weighting
5. Upgrade all suspension bushings to custom poly or metal
6. Roll bar
7. Full driver harnesses
8. Weight-slashing program (within the rules)
9. Aftermarket brake pads and fluid
10. Replace all fluids with race synthetics
Nice list Skimmer, just curious... what brand of fluids would you use?

Yeah I can't bring myself to spend too much cash on the brake system in the Fit (at least in real life), that is why I went with new performance pads all around and SS brakelines instead.
