Hmm interesting...

So maybe I'll stick with what I have...camber is more important than toe, no?

You should be able to adjust toe to whatever you need with the oem arm.

I can but the eccentrics make it a PITA...especially when the camber moves when you adjust the toe and the toe moves when you adjust the camber...aligning the rears of these cars is annoying lol

I completely agree, don't get your car aligned on a Monday or Friday. Lol! It took a lot of time to get the rears to the specs I wanted, but by the end of it my mechanic was a pro at it. You just have to find someone that is willing to take that time.

I do it myself. I'm a service advisor at a Toyota dealership so I can use the alignment rack whenever I want to

Can anyone recommend a good sway bar setup for STX? I feel like I've got my FRS just about dialed in for AutoX, but would like to tame the tail just a bit more in the fast transitions. At the moment I'm still using the stock sway bars, but was thinking about maybe putting a Strano bar up front. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Current Mods: RCE Yellows, Camber Bolts, RPF1 17x9 +35, Hankook RS3 245/40-17, JDL UEL Header, OFT E85 Tune, K&N Filter

If you don't have a front sway bar you are NOT dialed in for autoX. Front bar is a simple mod even a C-Street twin needs to be competitive. I would look into dampers as a top priority mod as well seeing what you have.

Strano front bar and stock rear is a good place to start for sure. Also I'm pretty sure E85 isn't legal for STX anymore.

Is the Strano bar alone considered pretty good, or should I look at something for the back as well? I'm planning to upgrade the dampers next spring for sure. Also, the last I heard, E85 was still legal. When did that change?

Any fuel over %15 ethanol may only be used when specified by the manufacturer. Damn...I thought it was legal too...just looked it up. Page 40 of the PDF version of the rule book

Strano bar alone will do you fine

Thanks for the recommendation. Are there currently any fitment issues with the Strano bar? I was reading through some older threads and noticed that was an issue a couple of years ago.

Yeah I want to know too. Otherwise I'll be looking for similar stiffness bars - Whiteline 22mm, Eibach 25mm, Hotchkis 25mm

HATE This rule. We can't even get good 91 up here.

Why make a street legal fuel illegal, but allow 100octane race fuel!!!

I run the RCE Swaybars on my car, along with RCE T2s.
