Even though my car has already been ordered, I'm thinking that there is a slight chance that I might be able to change it (or is this a ridiculous longshot?). I did not order LSS, thinking that I will be able to buy a set of racing wheels and tires, and eventually upgrade the suspension.

This will not be my daily driver, and I plan on autocrossing and roadracing it as much as possible (maybe 12 autocross events and 5 road race events a year). But doing the math, those items quickly add up $$$. I would also have the LSS parts under warranty. Would I be better off getting the LSS option and buying a cheap set of street wheels and tires?

Yes, I think so.

It has been discussed before and my perspective was this-

If you are a really serious racer, it might not be for you. Because you will replace the shocks anyway and probably get your own racing rims and rubber. So what did you buy?

If you don't track the car or autocross much, then this is probably not for you. Lower, stiffer ride, more oversteer.

If you don't have experience in handling midengined cars, this may not be the option for you, or I would recommend you get experience in a safe environment.

Everyone else... this is a good option. You get rims that you would have paid a lot for anyway. You get a car that is optimized right out of the box.

On the other hand, I can tell you that this car operates extremely well without LSS. I now understand better what Nick Adams was telling me that 95% of the drivers will not use the additional performance envelope that LSS provides. I agree with that.


I think unless your car on the line or completed, you can revise your order.
