Haha. I dunno. I am currently working on the lateral links. That's the thing that I think will hopefully fix the weird rear right wheel. I am putting aside money little by little. Still haven't figured if I want to do toe and camber or just toe. The difference is $130, but might be cost effective.

After that, I am thinking about upgrading rotors and pads. The good news is that I hear SCCA members get 20% off of Porterfield pads through Porterfield. I might take advantage of that. That in itself, will still run about $250ish. Maybe $200. We'll just have to see.

And tires after that. I am leaning toward replacing the flat Goodyear F1 Eagle tire. Probably a little more cost efficient. It won't be a sticky as in some other cases, but the set should last quite awhile.

Hella. I just realized that I took that turn in the second pic way too wide. Anyways, always room for improvement.

Haha. I got a story about that at auto-x school. I was 75% through the course and then I realized that there were no cones on my left side. Finally hit me that I ran off course. Haha.

You should go with the camber & toe adj. units, IMO. it would be usefully to balance out cross camber in the rear, one of my main grips about stock rear subaru suspension setups.

Yeah. I think it'll be just as cost-effective to do both of them. I guess I just have to save the extra money.
