It made sense for the two of us that went straight to ST. We already had the parts...and we enjoy having front camber. |

I've thought for a while that this seems like the next logical step after the success of SSC. Not sure what the class letters should be, though, since SSR and SSM are both taken. SND for Spec ND?
Also, in a year or two it'd be great to see SSC updated to allow all 1st gens and to get an SSC2 for the 2nd gens...........I'd be down for going that route instead of ST*. |

You definitely don't need $5k coilovers in ST.

I have $2100 coilovers on mine. Totally happy with them.
I also wrote a proposal for an SSC 2.0... Fixing the weaknesses of the first gen SSC (like the stupid and pointless SPC rear arms and toe bushings, the soft lowering springs, etc) and I'd gladly go run SSC 2.0 instead of STR, getting beaten by the ND a lot is dumb. Sure we can trophy at nats, but winning is out of the question.

I don’t even know what coilovers I would buy if you gave me $5k to spend on coilovers. I guess call up mcs and buy knobs I don’t need?

I had MCS 2W on my CS/STR ND, I don't miss them. Yes they're built really well and all but I'm happier with my Shaftworks valving. I do kinda want to get them converted to doubles at some point, but meh. Not spending money on something that won't add much/any pace.

$5k was an exaggeration, but if I was to get coilovers for ST* I'd likely go with Xidas. Those and MCS are in the $4k price range. Buy once, cry once sort of thing. Even at $2k for coilovers, you could probably get the complete SSC kit, other than tires, for that.

There’s too many vocal people in STS to make changes to STS IMO.
I think STS would be great with diffs in general honestly, VLSD’s are getting very hard to find. ST* could use a re-org but one thing at a time SP needs more help first.
