For autocross, you need the whole enchilada. The PT sits too high, the springs are too loose, the standard shocks which are adequate with the stock springs, don't work well with lowering springs, and the standard sway bar (no sway bar on the back of the GT's) allows too much body roll. The stock combination will slow you down and scare the poo out of you are you slide through the cones (not the idea of course).
Autocross is a good application for the stiffest sway bars you can find. It will make the ride stiffer and can introduce wheel hop on rough streets (not good) but will make a significant postiive difference in the autocrossing the PT.
The SRT-4 is a better car to start with for autocross but isn't nearly as practical for everyday use.
