You will have to play with the settings but here is my results. On very tight coarses use the middle setting and on longer coarses us the first setting.
I am in ESP so I cant drill any holes for the 3 way cusco brace. I only have the regular cusco strut tower brace. I hope is a bit dryer out there tomorrow so I can see if it is the brace or th e track. I am debating on throwing my spare tire back in to give it a little more rear weight. I figure it might prevent it from tossing the rear end around as much.

As far as brake pads go... My team mate is using those ferodo's on his EVO...I have decided to go with the Project Mu TITAN KAI Front Brake Pads . I have heard many good things about them form some of the guys I know that run them. I am waiting to receive them next week.

As far as the Falken Azenis tires... I like them, but I think to be competitive I will need to switch to the Kumho Victoracer V700's. The Falken Azensi Sports are great over stock, but I noticed that a friend of mine that was using the same tires as me just switched over to the Kumhos and ran a full second faster than I did! I use to be faster than him!!

Yep. Get Kumhos or Hoosiers, unless you want to run in the new STU class. It is pretty easy to be competitive on the local regional level in ESP with an Evo that is not fully prepped for ESP.

This is the sway bar no holes are required for it's install it just replaces factory sway bar. Are you thinking or the rear trunk bar or rear strut tower bar or rear triangle brace?

Yes I have also found this to be true! The Evo is a great Auto X car! It is very forgiving! It can make an ok driver look great!
