I also haven't done any camber changes yet, so I might need to go to a 10mm spacer if I add too much negative camber.

Or just buy some coilovers. :P

Do you guys have RPF1's in stock? I'm thinking about going with a 17x8 +40 with a 225 wide tire, should do well being lowered 1.4 all around with stock struts and no rubbing I would think...

I was thinking about going tirerack but they only have 17x8 +45

::edit

I guess they don't make them in 40 offset 5x100

Right. There is a 17x8 +45 and a 17x8 +35.

+45 is currently in stock, +35 is not.

Either fitment should be find with a 225 and stock struts lowered 1.4 inches. :happy0180:

Is anyone attending Grand Subaru's Track Day Invitational this Sunday? I guess they have a customer appreciation day where they rent out the north circuit of the Autobahn Country Club. Just wanted to see if anyone will be out there?

I now have 1,200 miles and was planning an oil change at 2,500. I've read through the mountains of controversy about changing at 1,000 or following the owner's manual and waiting until 7,500. Any ideas about changing oil before a track day? I'm a bit of a noob regarding tracking

I'm slightly worried this is an easy way for them to void my warranty. I know racing/timed competitions will void warranties, but how about "I just want to take some fast corners and not race/be timed" track days? It seems like a rather ingenious (yet diabolical) company sponsored warranty voiding day. I asked their representative and he only said they've been doing this for 3 years and there have been no voided warranties. He also threw in a nice jab at the competition...'You bought a Subaru, not a Mitsubishi"
