Anyway, I say DD because it's the short way to explain. My Evo is an extra car. I drive it pretty often (multiple times a week) for fun. And then also use it for AutoX and drag strip. I'm not in either competitively, just have fun with it. BUT, i still want to be optimized if i can, hence the A6's. So, trying to get across, it's not like i depend on the car to get to work, and commute in it daily. I'm willing to donate the rest of my current street tires to experimenting with more camber.

I'm stationed at Ft Bragg (Fayetteville), but live as far away from that God-Forsaken town as i reasonably can. It's like dead nuts center NC.

most DE event's let you use schroth harness with ASM. i do agree with aaron that you don't want to use any harness if you don't have roll bar in case of a roll over, ASM doesnt have you there.

once again, if you don't have roll bar, then it's best to use oem seat and seat belt. if you have roll bar, then you'll need fix back seats, harness and head/neck restraint.

when i drive Chu's car, i use his oem harness instead of his Schroth. i also do the same when i'm in student's car.

I always use my harnesses in the EVO because I feel it allows me to control the car better & better car control = less chance of a roll over.

install extended studs front and rear
get a set of 18x9.5 or 18x10 RPF1 et38
get a set of 20mm spacers for front
get a set of 5mm spacers for rear
have chu *****slap your rear fenders with a quick roll of the lip
grind the casting mark off the rear LCA where the tire will rub under deflection
install said wheels and tires
get dominated at the autox by PCD Evo's on street tires
Done!
There are lots of ways to do it but what's listed above is the cheapest and easiest. YOu can get custom CCW wheels made to fit, perrin PSRS (offset caster version) and custom control arms if you wanna get cray wit it.

my number one priority on track is safety first, then fast second. every car i put on track, i concentrate on making it safe first, then fast.
