One last thing. Do you think removing my roof rails will be legal under STX rules? I believe it is legal under SP. I know this is lazy and I should look it up but while I'm on the point I'll ask it anyway. I know I have to do some work, now that Nik finally changed his ECU. And the brake fade I'm getting on the 5th and 6th runs at the events is not cool and would "kill" me at the track.

Stock brakes can be made to work at the track with the proper pads & fluid, and the understanding that you will be swapping rotors much more frequently, and wearing on the front wheel bearings. However, something like a set of StopTechs will work *much* better at track speeds, especially at places like RFR that are high speed and really heat the brakes.
STX / STU classifications are based on displacement. 2.5L Turbo is too large for STX, putting the '06+ WRX in STU. SP classifications are based on models, and the '06 WRX is considered to be the "same" as the earlier WRX's, so they stay in ESP.
Of course, all this may change before next season... or during the season for that matter.
I have no idea about the roof rails. You'll have to look it up. And you shouldn't be fading your stock brakes at autocross... you should look into better pads.
