It's legal.


14.10 ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN
G. Any mechanical shift linkage may be used.

Looking forward to the Aero bits off the 'Blue' front lip, sideskirts and rear apron wings.. Probably non functional for the most part.. but will save the frontend and sides from cone damage. ..My front bumper is getting pretty bruised up. LOL..

14.2 BODYWORK
F. Addition of spoilers, splitters, rear wings, bumper covers, valances,
side skirts, and non-functional sccops/vents is allowed provided that
either:
1. It is a production part which is standard or optional equipment of
a US model of the vehicle.

I'm still learning a lot of the nuances of the allowances for autocross, will those be allowed on '13 and '14 model years?

Trying to avoid tophats.

I recently installed just the OEM crash bolts in the upper slot and have -1.2* camber as a result. I realize that everyone is having different results, but with only half of that you should easily get your goal of -2 with both in my not-expert opinion.

For Reference.. most of us on National builds are at -3.0 or above.. mine is -3.4 right now..for the front

Great... more money to spend lol Looks like I'll be getting some STi lip and side skirt kits in the long run!

[RiskyTrousers]

Are these Cusco diff mount collars legal? LINK

[Scooby South]

Not likely .... way to much metal ...

14.8 Suspension:
D. Differential mount bushings may be replaced but must attach in the standard location(s) without additional modification or changes. Differential position may not be changed. The amount of metal in a replacement bushing may not be increased relative to the amount of metal found in a standard bushing for the particular application. Solid metal bushings are specifically prohibited.

Yea, that is what I was thinking. Those prices are insane! It is still around 750 for the rear diffuser which just seems ridiculous.

So the real question is... Will anyone push it enough to challenge the replica parts?

14.2 BODYWORK

F. Parts must be installed as directed by the manufacturer. Exact replicas,including weight, from alternate sources are also permitted.
