Or rather, if the rumors are to be believed, it's random when the US ports releases shipments.

Speaking of used rear axles from Ebay, I still have one and no longer have a need. I'm not interested in shipping but will be at a handful of ProSolo National events this year (starting with Blytheville) and also get to Milwaukee, Twin Cities, and Chicago during the summer months. If anyone is interested, I would sell it for $70 as well. I also have a set of Kosei K1-TS 17x7 that I am looking to sell but not ship. I could deliver those to an event too for $500.

I'm a complete novice to AutoX. I do have some limited track experience (6-7 days) over the last 2 years and am hoping to hone my car control skills.

I own a fairly stock-ish 2013 Subaru BRZ and am seeking help with car classing!

Mods:
Home-brew Setrab oil cooler
17x9 Wedsport TC105n wheels
225-45-17 RS3
Tein Street Flex Adjustable Coilover Suspension
SPL Rear Lower Control Arms - Spherical Bushings
Alignment by West End
Carbotech XP10 brake pads

I visited a practice session at Fontana (2/7) to learn more about autox. People have told me that the bushings on the rear LCAs bump me out of STX class and into CST or SM class which would not make my car very competitive. I'm okay with not being competitive, for now I just want to run. I'll worry about being competitive later on as I get faster. I can see how I stack up against other 86s similar to mine in STX and stock class.

Thanks in advance!

People have told me that the bearings on the rear LCAs bump me out of STX class and into CST or SM class which would not make my car very competitive.

You are stretching 225 on a 9" wheel for autoX? (rs3 v1 came in that size and only has 8" of tread with)
Its not the spherical bearings (Don't know of any bearings that aren't round), its your bushings.

Plenty of people are competitive in STX with fully prepped twins, but you are not in STX.

Edit:
Here is what my set up is:

ft86 UEL catted header
Motiv OP and Catted FP
HKS HipermaxIV SP coilovers
tc105n 17x9et35
RE11-A 245/40/17
HKS Legamax Sports Exhaust

FR/FL Camber: -2.0
Toe: 0* all around
Caster 5.8*
RR/RL Camber -2.3*/-2.5* (natural camber)

I need LCA's to reduce my rear camber to -2.0* I haven't autoX'd on this alignment so my front camber is conservative, but I'm pretty sure I'll still push if I don't manage my turn-in.

As for the tires, I know they're stretched but I'm making due with the resources I have in my garage. I plan to run similar tire setup to yours after these tires are finished. Track/autox duty.

OK if not STX then which class? and what are your thoughts about them RE-11As?

I run an alignment more conservative then yours. Will dial in new alignment after I outgrow my current alignment.

Spherical Bushings put you in the SM class.

RE11-A tires i feel are good as a multi-purpose tire. I wanted to buy r1r in 235/40/17, but they didn't get the 200tw in time.

RE11a's are slow plenty of new tires on the market as of March.

This is what makes your car not STX legal " SPL Rear Lower Control Arms - Spherical Bushings"

Are they spherical Bearings in it or Rubber Bushings?

I did horrible at nationals. Kept over-driving the car. My first time on concrete, but I just overdrove the piss out of my car.

Anyway, it was still fun and I saw/talked to many amazing drivers.

to everyone who went out on the 15th.
