ST's are great track cars. People don't give them enough credit where credit is due. They're light, well balanced, have great low end torque even stock and thus good for quick slowing down and speeding up. If it were me (and I'm working on making my ST a decent track car), here's what I'd do:

-Shocks and springs. Tein, Eibach, Trd, whatever your preferrence.

-Sway bars. Front and back. Found em on modacar.com for 260 for the pair.

-Strut bars. Found the Trd and cusco ones on toysport.com.

-Ram air intake. Not a significant horsepower increase but they're cheap and does help the throttle response. (I noticed it at least)

-Shifter. Trd quickshifter comes in handy when quickly moving back and forth between gears.

-Rims and tires. Get some alloy rims (they look nice and they're lighter than the stock ST rims). Tires are pure preferrence. I've got a set of Cooper Zeons on mine. I like em a lot. Used to have Yokohama ES100s but the shops in my area stopped carrying em for my rim.

-Rear disc brake conversion. Audi proved at LeMans what advantages 4-wheel disc brakes can do versus drums. Plus it looks sweet behind some 17" rims.


That's my 2 cents. Since none of these things are giving you a whole lot of power (if any at all) I doubt you'd need racing seats or harnesses or any of that stuff. You're not cornering at 110, a roll cage is not that critical. But its your car, do what makes you smile, and make sure you have fun doing it.
