I've been having second thoughts about wether to sell the v3 and pick up a set of rce t2. Or just throw on the v3.

I spent years with no weekends due to work and other obligations. Now that that has changed, there's a good local autox and 2 tracks within about an hour slated to open later this summer. I plan on going to things as frequently as possible. That puts my experience level at roughly 0.5 on a scale to 10.

That said the frs sees the majority of my work/commute/etc miles due to driving 700-1k miles a week and the mpg being a huge jump over the other vehicles owned. Mechanically I'm a shade tree idiot, but I have rebuilt an ej25. Not too worried about wear and tear on the vehicle with dd and toy use.

So, in a nutshell, lots of dd miles, planned autox/track whenever schedule allows during the season. Beginner experience level. V3 or t2? The v3 being already here. Or a 3rd option: sell and learn not to suck with stock suspension?

Thanks
Honestly option 3 would be an okay way to go. I would sell, do a few track days on stock stuff + alignment and better pads, and see where to go from there. If you're tracking your car a lot the T2 really is a step above the V3s, so might as well get them in the end. But in the meantime, build some experience and take care of little things to get yourself and your car track ready.
