That said, do you believe an STX build is a preferable option to a DS build? Or would you go full retard straight to DSP? |

How soon til we see one, see how much it weighs? Limited prep DSP doesn't sound like much fun. |

I have no desire to ever be in DSP so can't speak to that.

I've decided that, considering my car has less than 30'000km, Koni Yellows will provide me a very small improvement over my existing stock setup. I will give DS a shot next year, I will max out OE alignment (camber) with the OE crash bolts and I'll run on RE71Rs. I'll see how I fair against the competition and will make a decision regarding suspension at the end of next year. That said, what are higher end options for performance struts? |

How popular are the A052 in your region locally? In Eastern Canada at least, I haven't even seen anyone run them mostly because of the large price difference here. Its about $450cdn between RE71R and A052 in 245/40/17 STX size.

[edit: some dudes have unlimited tire budgets, this is not my reality.] I've bought a pair of OE-sized RE71Rs since Costco currently has a good price. I may have to re-learn how to drive on them because I am very aggressive and use all of the RS4's slip angle. I'll keep my RS4s for daily and lapping and I will swap to RE71Rs for the events that call for them. Next season is still up in the air due to covid. We had no CASC-Ontario Regionals this year and who knows, the same may be possible next year. PITL is my autocross home base beer league. This season I have won my class and if I win my class at the last event I will be entered into the shootout! That said, I've been placing very well in raw times at this club, usually in the top 20 (out of +100 cars). I managed a 15th overall at event #7 so I am very happy with my driving. If CASC-OR is a no go for 2021, I can run the Bridgestones at PITL and I can compare my overall finishes based on this year's results; If the better tire gets me into the top 10 then I'm on the right path. So 2021:
It's too easy to get caught up and want to spend a bunch of money on parts that may only give me 1 second. Tires only it is! Also, I own a Saab and that will probably require money to keep going. |

Look at the Toledo Tour this past weekend. There were 9 cars in DS, 9 cars listed on Bridgestone. There were 10 cars in CS. One of those cars was on Yoks. He is an ex-national champion and he finished 3rd. Looking at Bristol from 2 weeks ago, CS was won on Yoks, but I think it was the only street class winner on Yoks. |

So it seems that the 2021 rules have removed the BRZ Performance Pack from CS and dropped it to DS with the base models. The tS stays in CS.
Thoughts? Does this mean base models can upgrade to PP shocks, and brakes?

I'm actually kinda pissed with the change I'm not sure about your regions specifically, but in ours, CS is slower than DS by a good 1-2 seconds. Even the ND Miata with an experienced driver. DS has the Civic Type R, which is top dog in DS right now. 265 tires, 300HP. The Veloster N is another big player now too. At our last event, the CTRs were getting a 41.8, Veloster low 42's. Top in CS? 43.8 ND Miata. Me in 175 run RE's... 45.1 Even with new tires, I think I'd be in the high 43's at best with the ND. There's a full 2 second difference on a ~45 second course with a CTR and twin. The CTR is just 0.2-0.3 off AS times with hella good drivers. I think it's really a BS car at most. If anything, the BRZ both PP and non should be in CS with similar cars even though the PAX is worse than DS. End rant on the CTRs. Our region now has 8 running this upcoming year. DS simply isn't the car for the twins at all now. |
