I haven't made the jump to STX because I keep thinking I need at least ~$3k RCE Tarmac 2's with camber plates, if not something like MCS and up in the $4-5k range.

I've been thinking about it and something like $1800 RCE SS-1's or something similar with good valving, but less adjustable might be better. I don't want to get totally lost adjusting 2-way dampers, or having 30+ adjustment clicks to play with.
ProParts Megans, there’s also Shaftworks and Redshift for similar money, they all come with camber plates. Monotube, built by autoxers who understand the sport and the locations you run at, closing in on 40k miles on my Megan’s and they’re still great. You might run into Shenefield at an event where you’re at, ask how he would advise your setup. They’re all single adjustable rebound which is where the handling changes come from, while they’re 20-30 clicks you don’t really feel 1 click so put in 2-4 which effectively narrows you down to a ~10 adjustment damper. Once you get compression set right for the surface odds are you don’t change it.

I don’t like the KW stuff, twin tubes, useless support (KW NA that is, RCE is clearly better) but they can take you to the front. MCS cars ride great but a lot of people local to me are switching to shaftworks, their support is great and local to us.
