I think it would be well worth the money for those of us that do a lot of AutoX and Road Racing.

I agree that it would be. THe issue that some will have to consider is classification .. At least in Solo. If this would be a "recall" or if GM called it a "replacement part" and not had the Competition replacement ( or however it's worded ) in there, then it might not be an issue.
To the SCCA, this MIGHT be a competitive upgrade that is above an OEM part, and then that would constitute that it's NOT eligable for use in a stock classed car.

Road racing is a whole different ballgame.

Seeing that it's a replacement for a part that came from the factory, and I'm sure there's no weight savings or other performance benefits, then how could they list that as a class-changing part?

I can't see quite why you would need it for an air suspension, you are going vertically, not laterally.

Regards,

The SCCA issued a FastTrack line specifically dealing with this part for those who didn't see it a couple months ago; straight from teh SEB, this part is NOT eligable for stock class in Solo. IIRC, they can't be used in ST either. DSP, SM, or SMFshouldn't be an issue.

I have autocrossed the unholy hell outta my IRL now and haven't broken a knuckle, but when I change class you can bet your ass they're going in, lol.

I do not autocross but I will go to track days maybe 3-4 times a year. Is the replacement recommended only for autocross or is it also recommended for track use?

I had them installed and it braught my toe way in so it DOES need an alignment after the install
