This will get you +2 back for sway bars and +3 for subframe brace. 5 points is a lot to spend in TTE, use it for power or compound of tire. (I did this in TTC)
Go back to stock brakes. You dont need bigger brakes in TT since you are running for ONE fast lap. Get a good compound brake pad and worry less about how big it is. In TTE I cant imagine you even need brakes at all.
Do you need the alignment arms? Can you get "enough" without them? With BMWs you can get enough camber without any points, but that may not be the choice now.
Yep, you can skip all of that crap. All things being free I would have the swaybars but if it opens up points for things like better gearing and a diff then I would make that trade in a second on that car. You can get enough camber with lowering on the factory arms (get taller top hats) and you can shim the rears without replacing arms to reduce camber - you will want to do that one way or the other. You would have to do testing on the tire size, the fronts really get abused.
Your big gains in laptime will be in gearing, diff, making the front suspension work and using the rear suspension to keep the gas tank off the ground. Work on loosening the car up a little bit each event once you have a diff... I wouldnt make any big suspension changes until you have that though.
