suspension tuning? please help

I am new to this subject and my Auto-x experience is none; but I am definitely interested.

I have a 05 6mt coupe + cusco sway bar, tein basis on stock wheels. Is this good enough to start for driving school? I already plan for changing a different set of wheel + tires; but I am worry if the suspension is not stiff enough. thx

For driving school, the fewer mods the better imo when you're a novice.

If this school will be on a road course, you'll need better brake pads. Make sure you bleed the brakes too.

Stick with your stock or near stock set up, learn the car and become comfortable with it, then start with the layering on of mods.
The anti-sway bar is your cheapest and best bang for the buck.
Then coilovers with lowering the car an inch or so all around to get the center of mass lower.
Then reduction of your unsprung weight with light wheels, and the best set of wide cold temp gummy tires you can get.
Then a BBK, or if not the full kit, at least braided stainless lines, an upgraded RBF, and better pads.
Do the mods in progression to get the full appreciation of the handling impact of each. Otherwise it is hard to learn what is going on with the car.
Have fun and be safe!
