The autox season just finished up here and now i'm looking into prepping my car for BSP next year. I'm in SM2 now thanks to my 4.08 gears but i'm swapping back and I dont wana run my open differential in B-stock. Keep in mind this isnt gonna be an all out car on motons, I know i'm not gonna beat Tom Berry, I just wana have fun and be competitive in the southeast. All this is dependent on the economy as well 
1. Has anyone run the Moonface roll-center adjusters? viable product for a racing application or all marketing hogwash?
2. Anyone have any experience AUTOXING the Stance GR+ Pro SS-D coilovers? I need some kind of coilovers for a reasonable price cause my rear tires spend more time in the air than on the ground
If you do get a set of droop adjustable coilovers, make sure you have helper springs (ideally tender springs with like a 50lb/in rate) and lower the spring perch a lot (if not using OE spring perch), and then adjust the shock body length (droop height) so that you are no longer picking up inside tires. This might cause some understeer though!
3. Experience with SPC front AND rear camber arms (with caster plates)? assuming they are in fact legalized next year for SP.
We've seen a snapped set of these and the metal inside was real pourous and aero bar looking. Just saying.
4. right now i'm on some CHEAP 30 pound wheels and 285 Kumhos, i'll probably be copying Brians setup of Enkei RPF1's and Hoosier 295/315
RPF1s are a god sent
5. Any other good ideas for a revup in BSP? planning on MREV2/spacer for more midrange go-juice since the 3.5 gears will have me in that range more often.
we'll see how much of this I actually put together for next season haha.

Just replied to your PMs!
Yes, mostly miss - nothing like hearing a real voice vs. black dots on a screen
I used to live in front of a computer when I worked for 'The Man' - you've seen the video of the guy in the cube pounding on his keyboard then grenading the monitor? That could have been me...
Will keep this tab open and refresh more regularly!

bumpidy bump bump.
anybody here run 315 Kumho V710's out back? shows they have a section width about a half inch wider than the 315 Hoosiers, wondering if they'll fit with a +30-ish offset. Figure it'll be a little easier to get heat into them than Hoosiers if they'll fit, ive been told hoosiers like to operate upwards of 135-140 degrees and V710s peak in grip around 120.

IMBG it would require playing with offsets and some pretty mighty fender rolling to fit the Kumhos. My 315 Hoosiers rub a bit on the inner wall and just BARELY don't rub on the rolled outer lip, so I fear the additional half inch might be the breaking point for mine. In addition, the Kumhos are taller, 26.4" vs. 25.6", so there might be issues there as well. Nothing money and/or a BFH won't fix, but I feel like fitting them might end up being WAY more involved for the small gains you would realize.
But if you try it, let me know if it works!

The reason it shows the 710's bein a half inch wider is that the measurements were taken from a 12" wide wheel instead of an 11" wheel that the hoosiers used. That said the hoosiers are actually a touch wider than the kumho's. A good friend of mine used both on the front of his sti and had issues with rubbing with the a6's and none with the kumho.
Hoosiers optimum temp is higher although they warm up faster than the kumho so in that department there isn't much advantage.

wow this is the exact thread i've been looking for.
Here I was thinking I was gonna skip out on shocks for next season. All this talk seems to be focues around BSP, but if I just want to stay in BS until I become a better driver, would it still be worth it to get shocks for the stock springs?
(noob autoxer)

Moton Club Sport.
just kiddin lol i'm a noob too. what year/trim car? you have a front sway, set of nice light wheels and R-compounds yet?
just out of curiosity are you allowed to swap wheel sizes/offsets between years? so like an 04' enthusiast could run 06' track size wheels? 19x10 rear 18x9 front? anybody out there? lol

05 Enthusiast - bought it this April and went to about 4 autox's and 4 HPDE's. Was running the 03-05 Track Wheels with used 255/40 615's all around (super greasy tires)
This winter I'm planning on getting Hotchkis sways, and RE01R's

well if ya wana stay in B-stock you can only get a front sway. enthusiast isnt a bad B-stock car. really just depends on what ya wana do with the car. be competitive and sacrifice HPDE speed to stay in B-stock rules, or just have fun autoxing and doing HPDEs and do what ya like to that car.
