I have the ft86sf Catted header. I decided on that header because of the torque dip and I didn't want my exhaust to be obnoxiously loud (I have the header, Motiv OP, and a Motiv Catted FP)

I don't feel that Peak HP #s are more important than area under the curve in autoX

Not weird or wasteful when shipping UPS/ Fed Ex as they both have high dollar surcharges for non square packages. Even more so for tires.

The JDL stuff is on sale right now. There EL setup is nice with the cat on a separate piece, but no rumble.

Oh also on that header topic I went Nameless for the 4-2-1 stepped design offering the best mid range power for autocross.

What are the opinions on the Whiteline Anti-Dive Kit? Is it a worthwhile bushing for an STX setup? The extra caster would be nice but I'm not sure if it's worth the money.

I've been kind of thinking the same thing...

Just ran into a deal for some used Revworks headers, I think ill give those a shot with the OFT.

Whiteline is what I will probably use. SPherical bushings are not okay in STX and I think Whiteline checks most of the boxes (except price)

Currently using the Whiteline LCAs with SPC toe arms. They are a new addition for the car this year and from what I have read STX legal.

I did not find a clear answer on E85. Is it legal still or has the ruling changed?

e85 is not legal in ST*, unless you're vehicle is a flex fuel vehicle from the factory.

FRSport uses SPC LCAs. You can see the specs of their STX spec BRZ here:

I have RacerX LCA's for my upcoming prep work. They offer them with either bushing option, pretty nice they do that to give us another option.
