For whatever reason I watched a video of me autocrossing in slow motion for the first time. Uhm...wow. I'm so glad I order my DMS50s tomorrow.

Rear sway bar is too stiff for your spring rates...

I think he's outta travel. The sway bar would probably pick it up alot higher if it were too stiff, given the amount of roll it's showing.

My $.02....I'll try and find some pics of our car lifting it's wheel during competition.

Yeah, but can you three-wheel in the dirt?

I've definitely had my car on three and two wheels during rallycrosses. Here is a pic of me from a local autox doing some three wheel action. This is with some sti takeoffs, using Victoracers. Not the best way to take that corner :) I think that was my first run that day.

Did it on stock WRX suspension with Falken Azenis sports at a wet autox, with the rear subframe locking kit and bushings.

I agree on that one. That's about as much travel stock as you'd get. On occasion my car would like the inside rear w/o a front swaybar and soft springs up front. Now, though I'm pretty sure all 4 are firmly planted on the tarmac...

it looked pretty good at the Topeka Pro and at GIR from what i could see.
