Yeah, I'm playing with the idea of building an STX car to go do nationals once or twice in a few years, car is so good with camber I don't want to do CS. I'm ballparking myself at least $7k away from even considering my car competitive:
Coilovers ~$3k
Front sway bar ~$200
Rear LCA ~$450
(Camber Plates: already bought)
17x9 Wheel, 245-40-17 Tires: ~$2k
(Brake Pads/fluid: already bought)
Header/Tune ~$2k? I haven't researched this one yet...
That should be all the big ticket stuff, could easily spend a few thousand more on bushings, weight reduction, more expensive parts (I'll bet my bottom dollar someone shows up to Nationals next year on Penske's if there wasn't someone on them this year already) or save a couple hundred bucks on buying used parts, some cheaper versions of what I have in mind, revalving non-adjustible dampers etc.
