If I were to throw out a good popular combo i'd say Stance coilovers with Progress swaybars and some sort of adjustble endlinks. I have the Progress bars with the EVO-R endlinks and I'm very happy with them. That'll probably cost you around $1700.
Oh... And you want some wide but light wheels and tires... Yes you do.

Well you can get some custom monotube coilovers for like $5000 but I'm just going to assume you don't want those because I'm guessing you don't need them.

If you keep your eyes open in the for sale section you may be able to find wheels, suspension parts etc from other forum members. That's what I did. More and more people are parting out these days.

Lets take a step back...Have you actually AutoCrossed before? Do you know what it feels like to be pushing your car to its limits. If you do not, then you don't need coilovers. Bettering your suspension before you better yourself as a driver will not help you in the long run. Learn the dynamics of the car and then you'll be able to figure what works for you, what kind of spring rates you want..etc..

Or if you don't actually plan to race it just buy the ebay jdm crap everyone else recommends.

I have to agree... You need to get the car on the track before buying anything. If you have never crossed before, you'll find these cars are very fast as is. Upgrade parts as you improve beyond their capacity.

+1 on not modding until you know what you're doing. Your stock set up is fine. You'll get more satifaction out of your mods if you run stock for a while too.
Personally, I couldn't give a **** less which class I'm in so my suggestions are just for improving the driving experience and reducing your times without sticking to any rules or breaking the bank.
Some people here take autocross very seriously, some people do it as a past time. So figure out what your intention is and then listen to the appropriate audience.

and as many serious autocrossers can attest, the coilover/wide wheels/hi-po street tires isn't actually faster on the autoX course than a basically stock suspension and race tires.
get some experience under your belt, decide how serious you want to be, pick a class, and then start buying parts.
