Suspension/Wheel Upgrade?

Hello everyone, in the past few weeks I've been thinking whether or not I want to continue modding my car or moving onto something "bigger and better". So with this being said, my plan is to either get a new wheel setup and some new suspension to track my car occasionally and have an awesome handling car in the canyons or to keep it as it sits and use it as a daily while I save up for an Evo 8/9 for the track/street.

If I continue to mod the car I plan on getting:
- Volk te37 SL 18x9.5 et 22 all around with toyo r888's 275/40/18
- Dinan sway bars
- Ground control front camber plates
-Upgrade to a bbk later down the road

My questions is, will this setup work well? I think the rear may be a little too aggressive and may require some rendering rolling. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

ummm save your money? the 328 is a nice car and great daily. but trying to turn it into a canyon carver seems like a stretch.

with going fbo, wheels, tires, brakes,etc .. lol you're halfway there to an evo 8. and the evo 8 won't lose much value. your mods will. and the evo is 10x more exciting to drive.

What else have you done to the car? I wouldn't dump a bunch of money into wheels without looking into some tunes and tires.

An Evo 8 would likely be a much more entertaining on track. It's also nice to have a track car that ISN'T your daily, should (worst case scenario) you crash the car. Consumables will likely be cheaper or comparable. IMO, buying a different track car is the smarter play.
