Lets talk sway bars...gt3, h+r...

The KSport coil-overs come with camber plates so he will be able to get about -3.2 degrees of camber in the front without LCA's. If you need any more than that though, you will need the GT3 arms.

In that case, you can expect to be a bit tail happy with those tire sizes. It could work OK for auto-x, but watch out for the back end coming around.

Thanks for the input guys. I have some other projects going on at the same time, so im on a limited budget.

I wanted the K sports since they come with camber plates, and so I can avoid having to spend $1000 on gt3 lower control arms to get -3 deg camber.

The gt3 front bar is also cost prohibitive for now, but I got a great deal on an used H+R sway set. Ill install the rear bar first on its softest settings, and take it from there. I can always sell the front bar and buy a gt3 bar this winter...

I wonder if you can slot the shock towers a little more in the front to allow some more camber

Im not too concerned about tail happy. Ill just turn the autoX event to a formula D event...

there's someone on this forum selling used tarett front camber plates that might be in your budget. there's also a thread here about someone who did modify the upper strut mounts for more camber.

+1 on the K-Sport coil overs. Withe the camber adjustments, I run reasonable camber on the street, then go -3.4ish for autocross. Takes only a few minutes to do the adjustment at the event.
I've put about 70K on mine over the last 5 years. Still going strong.

When I adjust camber with GT3 type arms, there is a drastic change in toe. So much that it would be impossible to adjust back in a few minutes. Is this then an advantage of camber plates over GT3 arms - little change in toe?

No, it's the same with camber plates... or any means of camber adjustment for that matter. I had the same thought when I read that... "A few minutes" would be a bit of an exaggeration for resetting toe after a camber change.
