Looks like camber plates allowed in new Street class

F. Strut-type suspensions may adjust camber using one of the following two options:
1. Adjustable camber plates may be installed at the top of the strut and/or the original upper mounting holes
may be slotted. The drilling of holes in order to perform the installation is permitted. The center clearance hole
may not be modified. Any type of bearing or bushing may be used in the adjustable camber plate attachment to
the strut. The installation may incorporate an alternate upper spring perch/seat and/or mounting block (bearing
mount). The spring’s upper mounting position relative to the chassis, and along the strut shaft centerline, must
not be higher relative to the chassis than the standard part (ie, the camber plate may not result in a lower ride
height). Caster changes resulting from the use of camber plates are permitted.
2. Camber bolts may be installed and one bolt’s mounting point(s) on the strut’s lower integral mounting bracket
may be slotted. Caster changes as a result are permitted.
Scroll down to page 19 listed at the bottom of each page.
That changes my idea of going to STX...
Anybody know if these are final rule changes?

Yes the street tire apocalypse is upon us. Hide yo women. Hide yo kids...
I believe the BOD still has to approve the rule changes but as I understand it they almost always accept what the SEB is recommending. Although I don't know all how the SCCA organization is structured and who actually makes the rule changes. But yes it looks like the street class is coming in 2014.
Should be able to setup a mini with the JCW springs/Konis/235s/RSB and have a pretty fun and competitive setup. Although I would be hesitant to commit to a full-on build until the classing structure shakes out a little bit. Things might really change up with some of the allowances in the new street class.

That's not final. Have a look at the next month's proposal: http://scca.cdn.racersites.com/prod/...-june-solo.pdf
The camber plates were removed, very annoying that would help a lot. The street proposal basically just comes down to street tires and wheels +/- 1", nothing else is going to change.
