And, to present day.
After about a year, my driver's side camber plate bearing went out - just clicked a lot, but that's pretty weak. Although there is apparently no warranty, Vorshlag send out a loaner bearing/holder that I was able to use while they examined/replaced my old bearing (at cost, I believe), which was indeed bad. I heard a clicking again this week, but...fingers crossed.
I autocrossed for the first time on the RS-3's, and square setup, this weekend. She actually felt a bit different, and I think it took me a bit to get used to it. I'm rarely a cone-hitter (take from that what you will), but I hit a few this weekend because I think the car actually turned more than I expected it to. It took me too long to realize it, but I had to set turns up differently because it just understeered less. My "relative" (to usual-local-guys) times went down a little, but not as much as I'd hyped myself up that it would. Then I did some fun runs where I got a little more comfortable/aggressive, and whereas I only knocked 0.7 seconds off during the event, I actually knocked an additional full second off afterwards (and my best "feeling" run was on a screwed up timer). Regardless, I'm excited. I may have jumped the gun on my talent by going to stickier tires, but I think there's still a lot to learn on these.
They're seriously loud during daily driving though.
I know panoramic photos are gonna be all over the place with the iPhone 5 zomgs, but I thought this was pretty cool, and shows just how shitty our local venue is:
