Good idea I'll have to throw some paint on there before it snows.

Seriously? Just to add camber that is on the camber plates that come with the coilovers? I haven't modded the actual suspension or anything. That would just be ridiculous if that is the case. That's bullshit as I know other cars can easily adjust camber with aftermarket coilovers to where I'm at camber wise without drilling.

Auto-x is stupid if that is the case and I guess I won't be doing much of it. There's a difference between modding something that actually helps you in a major way and modding something so you are even playing field with other cars in your class. I'm sure other cars can easily run -3 in the front so I don't see that as viable rule...

Before freaking out, think of it like this.

Altered strut tower sheet metal. If they allowed this, people could go crazy by altering suspension mounting points, and doing things in unimaginable ways (even if they aren't helpful).

Are you really going, " I did something to make me more competitive but didn't check in the rules so now I call autox stupid".

I am not defending the rule, but cutting up something on your car before even checking if it knocks you into a different class? There is a saying "every car has it's warts". Yours may be its tough to get more camber, while anothers may be "I cant put these headers on to get "equal hp to others in class".

Also " I'm sure other cars can easily run -3 in the front so I don't see that as viable rule"". I doubt you even researched that or know that considering you didn't even check the rules.


Now calm down and breathe, locally I don't think they will care. Just don't go bragging around the paddock how you cut up your shock towers to get more camber. I don't think you ever were looking to go to Nationals with this car so don't just throw a tantrum yet; go have fun locally.
