Thinking of buying some stuff

So I AutoX for fun...I don't want to go crazy I'm just the weekend AutoX'er who wants to enjoy it. Right now I'm running BS because I have no upgrades. The only thing I'm running is SPT's on stock wheels but I'm looking in to getting new tires after the summer for next season. I was thinking of getting Koni yellows and a RB front sway. The total investment being around $770, not an issue. What would an ideal setting be for rear shocks that would be good for street and the track? Is the RB going to suffice or could I get away with a stiffer sway?

Just buy the shocks and tires... The RB front swaybar is way to big to use on its own.

you'll have a lot more fun on r-compound tires so find another set of rims.

not sure about shocks though since i have coilovers and run in STU. theres a guy that runs BS locally who has tokiko d-specs and he seems to like them. sorry i cant say much about these vs the yellows
