Wish I could make it, but I'll be working with my LeMons team on our car Sunday. Gonna go endurance racing in the spring!

Thanks for the input everyone!

Yeah, I've decided that I'm going to run STX next season. I've already got a berk single exit muffler delete and Blitz drop-in and am probably picking up a lightly used set of 235/40R17 Direzza Z2s this month. Will be getting a set of 17x9 RPF1s for autocross days over winter. From there my plans are gonna go something like this:

Hawk HP+ or Project MU Club Racer Pads
Stoptech Stainless lines and new fluid
Camber bolts
SACHS Performance Coilovers
Racseng Plates
Whiteline front bar
PTuning Header w/ some overpipe/front pipe combo and a tune

This full build will take me at least one season, more likely two, to fully complete. Since I also have to spend money on LeMons stuff (travel costs and safety gear) and have several trips planned for next year, including a trip to Germany for work with a week of vacation after to travel and of course drive the Nurburgring!

Yeah, I won't be getting that serious at first. Just trying to build a fun car that I like and is competitive. Luckily I get a significant discount for my coilovers.

I'm going to rely on LeMons for my fix of full on race prepped car fun. haha

So, after reassessing some finances (I have a lot of safety gear to buy for LeMons, trips to take, cars to rent for trips, and already know that I will have to pay my deductible for medical next year) I've decided to run CS next season, but plan on going to STX the next season.

One question I have, I know you can add camber bolts to adjust the front end, but can you run a rear camber kit too? Like the one offered by Whiteline.

Even if I STX, I'm going to be spending too much money other places to make my car look cool. I'm going to have too much money wrapped up in LeMons expenses, trips, and medical stuff. Running a season of CS will allow me to save some extra money to start a proper build for STX the following season, without having to piece it together over a season or two. That way I will be able to get the coilovers and wheels at the same time

autocrossing for looks is like smoking to cure cancer... unless you're in japan or france, then that's totally legit.

lol that's not what I meant but ok.

Just remember.... Cosmetic Modifications (Lips, Wings, Spoilers) will knock you out of CS. You're not even allowed to De-Badge the car in CS.

Some local clubs won't care but all it takes is one guy protesting to end it.
