I've been competing in SCCA B Street for a couple years now, and would love to slid down the slippery modification slope a little further. Looking at the Solo events board announcement in May it sounds like Boxsters might be allowed into STU next year. Street is probably the most competitve spot for me since I'm not going to dump a bunch of cash to prepare the car but I'm still considering it. My biggest concern is suspension. Last year I installed the M030 suspension with a GT3 front bar, I'd hate to rip all that out. If I kept the M030 setup and installed lowering springs and camber plates do you think I would have a workable setup? At first glance the 20% stiffer M030 shocks seem to match the increased stiffness of most after market lowering springs
For those of you interested here's the announcement

The STAC is considering allowing some mid-engined cars, such as the Porsche Boxster, into STU. Per the above proposal, these cars would be limited to the same tire size as AWD cars. After collecting data to review the performance potential of ST mid-engined cars, allowances could be adjusted, and/or the cars could be moved if appropriate. Note: The STAC and SEB believe the new wheel restriction will improve parity between cars that have more room for extra-wide wheels and those that do not. This also directly addresses cost escalation issues that have been expressed as a barrier to entry. The STAC has queried many STU competitors and found none running wheels wider than 11” so this proposal should hopefully not be a takeback.
