FE5 arms - increase castor a smidge, which will help as well, and these are stiffer with less front to rear flex to reduce wheel hop AND they're 25% (2.2 lbs) lighter.

Try that setup with -3* and I bet you change your mind. That's my plan, but on 245/40/17 Star Specs (245/45/16 if they'll fit over upgraded calipers/rotors) for STX. That plus slicks in DSP = woohoo! Of course, you know your shit too, so I am curious to see your results as well.
you simply have to put a spherical joint in the flca thats where your camber is disappearing to, and why the outer rib gets rubbished....there is nothing amde by anyone in a DOT tire that can even come close to the A6 ..245 is the one, i use a 9.0 or 9.5 inch rim, currently 9.0 .go directly to Hoosier...dont even think of anything else unless you want to go slow....he he
