Fc Owners who Race/AutoX their Daily drivers?

I just recently bought an Energy suspension bushing kit for my fc,
I also have a set of APEX springs
I just recently bought a set of KYB AGX struts/shocks
I also bought some HKS Camber Plates (with pollow mounts)
anybody have any experence with a similar setup?
The Good The Bads, Things you would change and how you like them on the street and/or the road course and/or the autox course.
Thanks In Advance

Sounds like a good setup. I hear that poly bushings make for a rough ride on regular roads, but I have no experience with them. Other than that, you might want to change your camber to avoid tire wear from street driving.

Well I mean running a certain amount of camber for the track and a certain amount for the street. Running track camber on the street is only going to wear out your tires faster.

Yes that is why I got the Camber plates vs the simple camber adjusters so that I could adjust my camber for the track and then back again for the street.
anybody else have any suggestions or comments on my proposed setup?

Get the dtts eliminator bushings as well. An absolute must if you track the car.
Get the rear sub-link camber adjuster as well, it is cheap. Sway bars?
Other than that, sounds like a good basic setup.

Aftermarket springs are a bit soft for me on a full road course, but don't let that stop you.
I don't autocross but that sounds like a popular setup for entry level autocrossing.

What do you have for race setup for lapping?
Thanks
