Did you modify the SPL rear lower control arms to be STX legal? They have solid bushings.

Not yet, i'm still running Novice and IST class for the next year or 2. but when the time comes for me to enter STX and compete at National Tour, i will certainly get legal bushings put in.

Out of curiosity, why not upgrade your Fortune Auto coil-overs?

I was going to keep using my FA coilovers if no 1 took it off my hands. someone decide to grab them for slightly less than what i asked for, but it was enough for me to curb the cost of the upgrade.

These are 2 way adjustable, and a much better damp range than the 1 way adjustable FA. Half of these also have custom swift springs, while i'm getting the spec and the front swift springs ordered(annie took the front springs and used them on her MCS). On top of all that, i'm also getting setup notes from a multiple time national champion.

FA served me well for novice autocross and daily, but i'm ready to move on to a bit more serious competition.
