I've been struggling with a balance of DD and Autox. My previous car (WRX) was mostly geared towards DD initially but then I started going down the rabbit hole of Autox.
I'm going to try and keep this geared away from the damn stiffest loudest NVH car.. that said how are you liking the Koni Swift setup. (I'm doing the springs for sure)
I ordered the SCT from Whoosh today.. can't wait.

I KNOW they are faster than the azenis. the azenis are not a top teir tire, they are about as quick as the 3-4 year old tire designs, but the new top tires dominate it. the top 3 are the BFG rival s 1.5, the bridgestone RE71R, and the new Nexen sur4G, the nexens came out mid season so not many have run them yet, but they got a few wins over the 71s and rivals at bristol pro solo and at the Nationals bryan got 1st in STU on them, so i know they are a fast tire, and im sure they will beat my azenis

the last minute swap to the new nexens was a great move for me, we had tons of rain all day sunday and it worked in my favor

I won STX for the Florida State Autocross championship by nearly 1 second on a 47sec course

Damn, nice work man.
What Strat tune are you running?

I've been looking at alternatives to the RE71 and living in the NW this seems like a good option.
