suspension is a complete package.. if you upgrade your springs and shocks but use your stock tires, you will end up sliding into something.. you need to make sure the whole car is upgraded

I am afraid to continue saying ....AMEN TO THAT!!!..... fWD cars tend to understeer. If you stiff the car and have an good aftermarket suspension set up but don't go for more traction ( better tires ) not in normal driving but when you are going to the limits i.e track days, instead of eliminating the understeer, you'll worsen it cause of the lack of traction. Tires do are included in the suspension upgrade, and how often you'll change tires depend only on how much you want your fit to get a grip!! because the stickiest tires will wear faster. maybe you 'll want 2 sets of tire&wheel one for every day, and one for trak days.....
