STX Rules and Setup Questions

Not sure I follow. Not legal in which SCCA Class?

Thanks.

Correct, the modifications over the stock/base car would all count the same as if they were non-OEM parts installed by you, so you'd have to remove stuff like the wing and different springs would automatically put you in STX.

Thank you. I guess I'll have to see how competitive it can be in STX and how much it'll cost to get it there.

It is not available yet, Brian and I are testing them right now. If you are at nationals, come by and take a look at it.

Any news on it yet? I'm curious how it's working out/possibly interested in one once they're available. My driving style likes front roll stiffness.

So if the ts never gets classed, is it then not allowed to compete?

The sway bar is awesome.....I did a lot of testing during the Evo School test and tune. Then made some adjustments for the wet runs on day 1.
Day 2, the car was loose and I should have made a change after my 1st run.....instead I stiffened one side of the bar after my 2nd run and it was really good for my 3rd run( I coned away 4th place)

I was able to make the bar adjustments between runs even with being a 2 driver car.

They won't have a street class, but there are NOC (not otherwise classed) categories for all the other classing tiers.

Just read September Fastrack... tS is in C-Street at least

Just answering my own question... NOC is not eligible for Nationals

I can't wait to try it this weekend.

How many stiffness adjustments is there on it?

4 holes....plus you can just do 1 hole instead of both sides.

Brian also pieced together a rear bar (ND arms maybe?) and said we can expect a production version at some point.

Beautiful pieces and if you've ever dealt with one of these style bars along with a stock designed bar that might tend to bind, it is a must have...

What's everyone at for ride height? Or is it really even worth taking it into consideration for these cars?

I think it matters to some extent, but you don't have to be super low for STX. During Autocross season I set my ride height to 13" from hub center to fender. That's somewhere in the neighborhood of 1.5" to 1.75" lower than stock.
