We just finalized the 2017 dates for UFO/MORPCA autocross. Events will be held at Circleville Raceway Park.

4/23/2017
5/28/2017
6/11/2017
7/16/2017
7/30/2017
8/19/2017
9/3/2017
10/15/2017

Mark your calendars!!!

That place is only 40 minutes from me, I will be certainly going to at least one, hopefully the first one in April. Do you think it would be ok to use the same A/S tires I use to DD the car with or should I look for a dedicated set of track tires/rims? Not looking to get super crazy into autocross and stuff, just looking to have a little fun every so often.

I guess the real question I was trying to ask is does it cause a huge amount of wear on the tires and reduce tread life a bunch, or just the same amount as some spirited backroad driving would?

A fellow v6'er in Columbus, awesome. The GT exhaust is the best one for our V6 IMO.

Any pics of your car on these springs? Were you able get alignment done within spec? I'm interested but I don't want issues with alignment...

Thanks in advance, sir.
I can post pics for sure later. After the springs i was on the outside edge of factory acceptable negative camber. I purchased camber bolts to gain even MORE negative camber. To correct to factory you'd want to dial a set of camber bolts to take out some of the negative camber the springs give you.

So camber bolts alone would be enough to bring me back into spec? I just don't have the coin for a full suspension rebuild with camber plates, struts, etc.

Thanks for the quick reply.
