STX Rules and Setup Questions

Anyone have experience with superpro bushings?

Do you think this one is legal? Too much metal? http://www.superpro.com.au/superpro-...999501126&vid=

Superpro bushings are good, used them before on my previous car for years.

Aussy made as well.. direct competitor to Whiteline. no complaints had them on my impreza back when. maybe a bit stiffer than whiteline.. they had 2 hardness's purple and Yellow IIRC... they tend to have a more complete kit over Whiteline, where Whiteline has more individual applications. meh... 1/2 dozen on one, 6 in the other..

Will camber bolts adjust far enough to make the -2.5 or -2?

You can't get -2° in the front with just bolts. 1.1-1.5 ish depending on car.

While camber plates are the easiest option, I can get -2.5 with camber bolts. I run SPC bolts in the lower hole and the used the lower hole "Crash bolts" in the upper hole for more adjustment. I only put one autox on this setup but multiple canyon runs on rough roads and haven't had slipping yet.

I am lowered an inch btw

What size wheel/tire??
with stock struts and -2.5 there is potential for rubbing on the inner strut with more than a 42 offset.. 17x9 42 is about as big as you can go.. and thats only with about 1.4 neg.. At that point you only have about a 5-7mm gap between the strut and the wheel/tire.

Im on stock wheels with a 225 right now. No idea what the other guys set-up is but just saying it is possible to get that much with bolts. It's only my 2nd year autox so my car is minimally prepped while I focus money on events vs mods.

I plan to run a 17x9 with a +35-38 offset using slip on spacers in the end (RCE Yellows with Koni struts. I'm just aiming to be locally competative right now. May jump to coils eventually)

I am running them now, was going to do Voshlags, but they where OOS. Racesengs give a little more bump travel then the Voshlags, way more than the com-cs I was using.

I took a look at the 2015 scca rulebook and see the STI and release series scion are classed into B street. Looking over the STX portion I see there is no mention of those cars in STX. All I see is a general listing for all FR-S/BRZ 12-15. Does that mean those cars are STX legal or are they just not classes in ST yet? If those cars are classed into STX can the base version cars use their front lip and side skirts and spoilers in STX?

Also was there any new discussion on Oil coolers being allowed anytime soon? Checked the recent fast tracks and saw no mention but thought I read that was being brought up.

Oil coolers are in the rulebook for ST (see 14.10.A).

Yes.. front lip/sideskirts can be used since its a factory accessory..

Mine for reference...

Doesn't include the replica lips, correct?

Actually they do. Rule says a suitable Replica is allowed as long as its the same dimensions as stock.

14.2 BODYWORK.
F. Addition of spoilers, splitters, rear wings,bumper covers, valances, side skirts, and non-functional sccops/vents is allowed provided that either:
1. It is a production part which is standard or optional equipment of a US model of the vehicle. (“Model” is defined in Section 12.3.)
2. It is listed in the vehicle manufacturer’s US accessory catalog for that vehicle for normal highway use. This does not allow for parts sold through a manufacturer’s performance catalog (e.g., Ford Racing, HPD, Mazdaspeed, Mopar Performance, Mugen, NISMO, SPT, TRD, etc).
Parts must be installed as directed by the manufacturer. Exact replicas,including weight, from alternate sources are also permitted.

they aren't SPT.. but part of the Accessory catalog for the BRZ ... Bolded the main part.. since they were offered on the "Blue"
