Care to share any of these ideas?
The car is definitely the easy button in STX, there isn't really much to it at this point. If you look at the setup of Bart Hockerman's car (Lance drove it to the top time on the West course) it's very simply setup and hasn't changed in two years. It's lowered an inch on off the shelf Feal coilovers (7K springs), has a WL 20mm front bar and a WRX rear bar. Alignment is pretty much the same as the CS setup, but it is corner weighted. The cars actually ride pretty well on "STX" type suspensions unless you are on rough roads, have a lot of expansion cracks to deal with, etc. The biggest downside for me in STX trim is the exhaust noise.

CS is more of a challenge. I used the MCA DA shocks and they worked well. Having the ability to tune bump makes a big difference, and the range on those is fairly wide.
