Time for some upgrades

I have a 2004 GT that is completely stock with 15K miles. I take it to the track, MSR in Cresson, TX, on average about two times a month. I have decided to go ahead and get some upgrades. Here is the list of what I am thinking about getting and the order in which I would purchase them. Looking for feedback if these would be good mods and if the order in which I plan on purchasing them makes sense.

1. Hawk HP+ pads
2. Progress Bars
3. Enkei RPF1 18x9.5 45 offset (these would be kept at the track with slicks)
4. Springs/Coilovers (need guidiance here)

Appreciate the advice

I think you've got a good choice of products but its up to you on whether or not you want to have ride height adjustability. If you don't care about height then I would go with a nice set of springs and shocks. If that is an important issue then go with a nice set of coilovers.

I have the Tanabe Gf210 springs, decent drop and stiffness but I should've gone with swift springs. Tokico d-specs would compliment the lowering springs. but if you want ride height adjustability, go with coilovers then.
There's a group buy going on for Tanabe pro-five coilovers. we need at least 5 and so far we have 3 I think...

I went with Ohlins coilovers and they are absoultely amazing! They were stupidly expensive though but I still think that you should go with a high quality part so you'll make sure that you'll always be satisfied with your purchasae
