Y2E0L0L5OGWT69:anyway, i made a decision on what i am going to do...I am going to stay within the limits of FS, but I am going to push those limits as far as possible, i.e. going with a significanly bigger/stiffer front sway bar, much stiffer struts/shocks (more than likely billstein non-adj.), a more high perf. brake pad, and some stickier 245/45 tires on the stock 8-in. wheel for now...I may find a lighter weight wheel down the road, but that will be the extent of things for now...that was i can be as competitive as possible in FS...I would ultimately like to make a car that can compete on the national level in FS and then go run it at nationals in the next couple of years...
Given those goals, your decision is a wise one. I'm assuming you'll be going with street tires for the time being. I think you'd be happy with the Bridgestone RE-01R, which is what I'm running. By the time you run through those you'll be ready to spring for the R-comps and lightweight wheels.
