Re: MY DSM and racing (all types). Please look!!

I say stick with the 16G, or maybe something slightly larger to get more power, but that's about all I'd consider doing in your shoes.

Do all the suspension upgrades you want, but you forgot the most important thing from your list: TIRES. For the best performing street tire look at the Falken Azenis RT615 or Dunlop Direzza Z1 (not DZ101, do not make that mistake.) They are usually around $150 a tire but are used in street tire racing classes for a reason. For a less aggressive tire (harder, will last slightly longer but will have less grip) talk to Hughes and Scheides and see what they recommend.

I run the Dunlop Z1 all summer and have no complaints. I will be getting either them or the RT615 next depending on what sizes are available.
