Paint them black... they'll never know!


I'm not too familiar with the SCCA's rules but it seems like lowering springs would put you in the street-touring class, no? Anyone have a complete rulebook? The FAQ on their website is quite vague.

Ya springs move you to street touring.

I downloaded the complete 2010 rulebook from their site but I don't remember from where. I'll post the link here if I find it.

Edit: Found it. http://www.scca.com/contentpage.aspx?content=61

Also, I forgot another important thing to mention. Make sure to get a good alignment too. You should be fine with -2 camber in front and -1 in the rear. That should be plenty while you're running street tires. Increased tire pressure will do wonders too. Just play with it until you get it right.

Can I run with one broken stud? LOL

^I wouldn't. And some places may not even let you.

They're easy to replace so why take the risk?

OP you might want to read up on the rules! I was just reading them, and here's what I've seen for the stock class. Air filter can be replaced, but the airbox has to be stock. We can use any rim, as long as it is within factory spec, and +- .25" (6mm) offset. Any exhaust as long as the factory sniffer stuff is there. Any front anti-roll bar. Rear cannot be modified. LSD must be factory...we can't add it. Adjustable shocks are allowed, but we have to use stock springs. I guess anything else would bump into a higher class.

Also what do the stock wheels weigh?

Specs? 17x8 +45 right?

Ive been playing with the pressures for a while and i think i have found the sweet spot at 40 in the front 39 in the rear

i am getting new tires as soon as my rims come in

I know this is an old thread, but I am thinking of taking my 13 GS to an AutoX.
