    I've got ~1000 street miles (I forget the mileage when I put them on) and 34 autocross runs. So far they're a little better than I expected, but I've been under-driving the car. I'll let you know how they fare after 4 hours of track time in mid May I'm still budgeting to replace them somewhere in late July...

    Got the new Whiteline 20mm adjustable front bar on, that's not bad besides having to take the undertrays off for the hundredth time. Whiteline's new grease-free bushings are neat. No grease or teflon tape on the bar and not a single squeak or clunk, good stuff. Rides well too, which was my biggest consideration, tbh.

    About the performance... It's noticeably more stable, but not by a huge amount. The car still rolls about the same and it will still kick the tail out if I'm aggressive on the throttle. I'm looking forward to my next autocross event now, I should be able to drive a bit more aggressively without having to baby the back of the car.

    I feel more confident anyway, and I guess that's what matters lol

    That's the goal Not to bash anyone, but nobody other than Nathan has an autocross prepped car with competition tires on it and he's not going... So if I don't win I'll be incredibly disappointed in myself, lol.

    Yeah, sucks

    About the front sway bar... After a bit of highway on-ramp/off-ramp testing... Pretty darn neutral now. There's noticeably more push on throttle, and it's less snappy off throttle. Easier to modulate right on the balance point of understeer/oversteer. VERY fun and really bodes well for the track I'll have to see how it translates to lower speed more jerky movements at autocross this weekend.
