Step one is to pull the code(s). Some auto parts stores can do it for free, but a good code reader that will read the ABS, Airbag, etc. codes is a good investment.

You might want to get a ride in a non magnetic ride C6 to see how the ride is. The magnetic ride control is pretty magical. I wouldn't even considering deleting from my car.

That's a sign that the A/C needs to be recharged. You can get a simple bottle at an autoparts store. Pretty easy to do. $20 and 20 minutes.

Replace the wheel bearing hubs with SKF HD racing hubs if that has not already been mentioned. They're about $350/each. You will kill any other hubs pretty quickly on the track.
