Hello Everyone
You are going in the right direction on most of your modds.
Weight reduction is always going to improve your cars performance.
Every member in my club has had a stage 1 weight reduction.
It will improve your brakes, steering, and acceleration.
For every 100lbs you gain or lose 8 hp.(depends if you add or remove that 100lbs.)
Take your interior out and strip all the tar from the floor pans. Then put everything back in and your car will now be 50-100 lbs. lighter.(all depends on size of car and make)
As for the susp. tuning:
For the most part all FWD's need ,front strut bar,rear swaybar,stiff rear springs.
The reason for strut bar is to keep your alignment in hard cornering, the rear bar helps the rear from twisting so much and adds to turn in.
The stiff springs in the rear allows for better launching and also helps the car step out alittle in hard corners(improve exit speeds)
Adj. struts/shocks would allow you to tune all of that together for one hell of a ride.

Btw the reason companys are able to reduce sping rates is by improving torsion rigidness of the car.(less body flex)
If you were to put a rear floor bar and a rear brace set up you would beable to drop your spring rates some also.
Just my 2 cents!!
