It seems that my driver side axle has developed the dreaded "click". What are my STX-legal options? Are the Drive Shaft Shop axles legal? Other than OEM, are they the only aftermarket option? How long are the OEM axles generally lasting? My car has 10k, and seen around 20 events (all with a co-driver). The problem has only recently surfaced after the installation of coilovers and a spirited drive through the hills of southern Ohio.
Feel free to chime in on any, or all of that somewhat redundant line of questions, lol. |

So I got wheels and tires sooner than expected since I got a good deal on the RPF1s 17x9 +35. I'm getting some fender rub and not sure what 'best practice' is for autocross. This is my first car that is not in stock class so I've never had aftermarket wheels either. I'm lowered on Feal 441 coilovers too. I've pre-registered for a test and tune event at the end of the month for Delta region so I have some time to play with different things.

How much negative front camber do you have? It should be tucked in much more than that. Almost looks like a positive camber.

It is 0 camber right now. I had gotten an alignment about two months ago when I had the coilovers installed. I just got the new wheels and tires last week. I do like the poke look though.

Holy understeer Batman! At least that is what happened to me when I lowered my suspension without any camber adjustable parts.

From what I read I think he's fine in the rear, with the car lowered some he should be getting some negative camber already and the rear has a ton of room generally.
I think he's running 0 camber in the front which isn't going to work and that's why with +35 it's rubbing on the fenders. Stock the car doesn't even run 0 camber in the front, it's more like -1... |

I wasn't planning to autocross the car until when next season starts but I wanted to get a feel for the setup. I should have clarified that the front camber was 0 and the rear is about 2.4 after dropping. Would it be alright to add negative camber via camber plates before the event? |

More than alright, DO IT NOW. Get yourself at least 2, and better 3 degrees up front. |
