The way I read the STS rules, these are legal provided I do nothing with the top of the strut mount:

2. On arm-and-strut (MacPherson/Chapman) suspensions, the
lower arms may be modified/replaced OR other methods of
camber adjustment as allowed by paragraphs 14.8.B, C, or G
may be used, but not both.

Less expensive than camber plates + weight savings - hmmm...

(Also fits in the master plan of making the SVT less and less practical - then I just *have* to pick up an old Impreza OBS or something :wink: )

Waiting for the next one to come around within at least a state or two!

OK, OK - I'll calm down with the mods now...

Trust me. I've been down the path of not-as-fun-as-it-should-be FWD Mac strut cars.

Yeah - but it's all-the-fun-I-know-how-to-handle :wink:

If I had the money right now, I'm really tempted by this:

I guess an older Miata track/AX car is going to be no trouble to find when I'm ready for it.
