You will soon realize that the quote
" Racing (DE) is such a strong addiction that it makes heroin seem like a mild craving for a salty snack"
Enjoy the ride.
I would recommend you focus on mods for safety gear first, sounds like you are getting great seats, so install a Hans compatible 6 point harness, buy a Hans and enjoy.

And stay unmarried unless you find a girl who is also REALLY into cars. Ask me how I know! GL and remember, " A racer and his money soon part ways!"

Hehe see you soon.. Just a couple of quick but neat rear suspension fixes that I'd use:

4.0 has a better similar toe link and those dog bones solidify the pivot points up top. Just less mush and more precision

Well its been a little less than a month since my first DE event and all I can think about is getting back onto a track. I was warned how addictive this can become, just didn't realize it would hit me this hard.
I just pulled the trigger on some GT2 buckets and a RSS bar, hoping to get them installed in time for PCA's Thunderhill DE later this month. The only other mods I currently have on the car are Wevo engine mounts, Sharkwerks bypass and EVOMS ecu tune.
After I get a little more used to the car on the track, I think my next focus will be suspension. Any recommendations? I primarily use the car as my DD...

At this point, your money is much better spent on seat time. Actually, adding more aggressive suspension and grip (slicks) now may slow down your progress as a driver.
The slower your car and the more slippery your tires are at the beginning, the faster (and easier) you will learn about momentum and car control which are essential for reaching the higher levels of the craft. You need to earn your access to stiffer suspension and stickier tires by mastering the softer and more slippery stuff first.
