I left a lot of stuff off the list. Bushings, Strut bars, GC Camber Caster Plates or equivelent, Alignment. All of these items are important but not as debated as the basics that I mentioned. It was already a long post.
Bushings - Get them it makes a difference
GC - Plates are great. They are so nice to have for alignments. The GC Plates give you an extra 3/4 inch of travel. Travel is severly underrated. Shortened struts and The GC Plates help a great deal
Strut Bars - I like them front and rear. If you are getting to much understeer try removing the front bar. Especailly for autocrossing. I would put the bars on and tune with them in place. They can effect the balance of the car.
Alignment - 2.5 degrees camber with the big bars is a pretty good start. A touch of toe out is also great. Personally I hate zero toe. I would rather have a touch of toe in/out then have it actually set to zero. Especially on a street car. If you have the ability to adjust caster set it to as much positive as possible.
LSD - You need one. If you can afford the Nismo LSD get it. Otherwise the Phantom Grip is supposed to work well despite the that it should not perform well. The whole concept of a fast car is getting on the power sooner. To properly pull thru a corner you will benifit greatly from a LSD.
