Car and Driver did a 40k mile long term test with a '22 Si and tracked it several times during their time with the car. All they did was wheels, tires, pads and rotors to get it ready for track use. The car performed very well with no issues. I think the key is to keep power levels stock and...

I've been running the FK8 rear sway for several months now and it really balances the car out on rotation. I ran the Tail of the Dragon in June and the car handled VERY well even with the crappy OEM all seasons. You will definitely need the brackets and if your bar doesn't come with the CTR...
Thanks for the updates! Glad to hear the Powerstop front pads seem to hold up well to your trackday. At $60 a set that's a good option.

Brand recognition. Years ago I heard that Rolex $10k timepieces were worse at keeping time accurately than a $60 Seiko. I'm not implying Mugen or Spoon parts are worse than other companies but certainly not 4X better in performance.
Use a plastic interior panel pry tool to separate the metal (silver) clip from the shift knob. Straighten the knob and then tighten the locking nut with a 14 mm wrench. Push the snap ring back up to the knob and you are done. Pretty easy to do.
Wish I could as you all aren't to terribly far but my weekends are pretty busy with life/kids/etc.
Thanks for the offer though! I will be purchasing a direct fit option when it becomes available.
