Default full suspension build

I'm looking to do a full suspension build on my car to get it ready for the upcoming autoX season. I currently am riding on koni yellow shocks/struts, SSi springs and a CA strut bar. Things I know I'm gonna get consist of comp grade steering knuckles, front and rear sway bars, and that's about all I know of right now. What else can I get to upgrade my suspension? Also if you can post links for me that would be awesome! Thanx guys!

My tires are pretty wide already . So is that it as far as building up our suspension? Just strut/sway bars shocks struts, end links and the steering knuckle? I really don't know much about cars but I thought there would be more to it...lol

I fully realize that this was posted 8 months ago but hey I just got here and havent had any luck sleeping so far tonight...
a lot of auto-x guys that run cobalts have a "stiffy" it's an engine mount built like a small adjustable shock that helps eliminate wheel hop or breaking the tires loose in the corners. I've seen it work on their cars but haven't purchased one for mine yet. Also upgrading the motor and transaxle mounts makes a huge difference esp on front wheel drive cars keeping the wheels stiff and on the track when pulling through corners is a must. Once you've done that you'll want a limited slip differential. creteenginedepot.com has a part that is supposed to be better than limited slip but I don't know much about it.

My current setup is as follows:
Ingalls torque dampener
ingalls camber Kit
Stance GR+ coilovers
Bwoody sway bar endlinks
Bwood rear tie bar
eibach rear sway bar
MRZ strut bar
FE5 control arms
R1 concepts drilled and slotted brake rotors
Hawk HPS brake pads


I think I might be missing something, but oh well.
