Is it dumb to lift a car for rallycross?
I have been looking to get into rally for a while now and bought a 2015 Subaru Impreza four-door to get started. Definitely wasn't my first choice but it's what I could afford and I really was just looking to get started in the sport.
I put a 2-in lift on the vehicle thinking it would give me more versatility for tires that have thicker side walls and better ground clearance when it might be necessary. However I'm getting ready to try to register for my first event and the person who owns the track is saying that they think it is too dangerous to drive the Impreza with a 2-in lift on the track.
It is a very relatively flat track on dirt and grass and my track width to height ratio is 0.98 (and this is when rounding down just to be more pessimistic on case my measurements where not perfect.) is it particularly unusual to put a lift on a car like the 2015 Impreza? Did I mess up by doing this and is it going to prevent me from being able to enter a lot of events? At first glance it looks like I do meet the SCAA requirements but I am worried that this might be a problem and that I messed up by doing this.
As someone who's extremely new to the scene and hasn't even had an opportunity to really get their feet wet I'm curious what thoughts are from folks with more experience.
