Whoah I didn't even notice this thread was still alive.
I ended up running 2f/6r. The car handled pretty nicely and was fairly neutral. I was lifting my inside rear around the corners, the course was basically sweeper, straight, sweeper, straight... Pretty boring, pretty fast, pretty easy.
I run Potenza RE730s on front and RE71s in back. I meant to have the RE71s up front as they're supposed to be stickier but the guy who did my alignment also rotated the tires for some reason. I was too lazy to fix them. I really really want to get some Kuhmos on my stock rims, I was 3 seconds off the top time in DSP and I think I could have made a lot of that up with race tires.
The WRX is a lot of fun, and hard as hell to drive compared to the NX. Whereas the NX is point and shoot the WRX is all about planning ahead, getting the car to rotate early so you can stomp the gas way ahead of time to counter the lag. Feels great to get the car sideways though and have that turbo spool up and shoot you out of the turn. Unfortunately I was killing cones more than pulling clean drifts. I was running about 4 seconds faster than any of the WRXs out there last weekend. They were all on street tires as well. Seems that the lack of low end grunt is a big disadvantage in those cars.
We need to get an autocross forum next to the kill stories!!
