Rear LCA are on. Ended up going with these specs:
Front -3.3 camber, 6.5 caster, 1/8 total toe out
Rear -1.9 camber, 1/8 total toe in

Let's see how it works out

sounds exactly like mine... ride height will be the next thing to dial in... I have about a 3/4 in rake.. which makes mine extremely neutral with 400 lb square rates...

0 rake now. I might have to experiment with that.

I use these guides to help me dial in the car. Enjoy

..makes sense once you see what each action does.. hope it helps some of you.

Found a good deal on Stance SS coilovers locally. Someone who bought but doesn't need because he's now selling his car.

I know there are better brands out there... But if I can get a hold of these for ~$800, what's the group think? Anyone running them in STX and have feedback? If they are 80%+ as good as a higher end version that will cost $1K more, then it's worth doing in my opinion. Thanks in advance for fact-based feedback.

Are you building to a local /regional level to learn.. or a full National build.. if its local, then these will get you started and learn how to tune/drive them to improve yourself.. if your looking to do a National Build, then I would wait. Since they only have rebound adjustment, it will provide you an opportunity to learn how to adjust them to make your car handle better. They aren't the best in the winter.. as they don't have stainless hardware. If you get them...don't be afraid to turn the knobs.

I'm really looking into starting some STX next season, but the radiator/oil cooler rule is killing me. I live in the NM desert and our summer temps are known to rise up to and in some cases beyond 108. Just on some spirited driving this year I saw uncomfortably high oil and coolant temps. I know the runs are short, but it still concerns me. I have the mishimoto rad on order but now I'm debating whether or not I should install it...

Thanks for all the info in here.

I don't know for sure, but I thought ST_ was going to allow oil coolers next year. I don't run ST_, which is why I'm unsure. But I vaguely remember reading it in a recent Fastrack.

Oil coolers, yes, but not the radiator swap.

Is there anywhere other than RacerX's website to purchase their rear LCAs? I have been snooping around and my Google Fu is not coming up with anything.

Dunno, mine are second hand.

So I guess there are no other options than purchasing through RacerX?
