My settings (which placed 10th in Topeka last year, and was basically what was used this weekend):

* Hotchkis 34mm hollow FSB, set to full soft
* Koni double-adjustable shocks set equivalent to 2.5 turns from full soft front, 1.5 turns from full soft rear (we were up to the equivalent of 1.75 turns in the rear which made the car a bit more "nervous" in the rear, but keeping co-driver happy was important). The DA shocks are good when I have to set up for rain, otherwise the single-adjustable are OK.
* Stock alignment ('05 suspension, '03 should be very similar but will eat your street tires a bit more)
* Stock exhaust -- the weight of the muffler/resonator is in absolutely the ideal location (low and at the rear where the car is already a bit "light")
* 3/8 tank of fuel (between 5/16 and 7/16 is OK, 3/8 is ideal on my car)
* For tires, you'll probably be looking at 275/40R17 DOT-R tires (Kumho V710s for longer wear or Hoosier A6s for a *very* limited number of runs per set)
* Wheels - Enkei RPF1 in 17x8.
