never could find anything close in boca when i lived down there except for porsche only club members or ferarri, mercedes, ect... The closest was either homestead or anywhere else that was an hour and a half or more away.

KYB 8-ways? If you end up liking autocross, you might as well buy some shocks that have a good reputation for that application. Bilsteins would be least expensive, followed by Koni SA's. DA's have insufficient compression for the rear axle. Yes I have them, but I need to switch to custom valved shocks as my spring rate is near the limit of what the DA's can control.
Swapping front shocks is time consuming, and you might consider spending a little more up front to not have to change them out as soon later. If you're running 90/10's you might not get a complete feel for autocross. Make sure you don't bring the skinnies
SCCA is racing at Brooksville tomorrow, but registration has already closed. MSCC will be racing on August 12th in Tavares, and SCCA will be in Deland on August 19th. My car is still being buttoned up after an engine transplant and it's unlikely that it'll be broken in before the weekend of the 12th... heck, I might not even have it idling nicely by then
