THE AUTOCROSS/ROAD COURSE THREAD

I've got enough store points to sticky this thing, so I did. We need one of these things so it can all stay together....
Put anything autocross related in here, pics, setup, rules questions, schedules, etc....

I paid for the sticky, I get to make one rule: Its gotta be sanctioned and legal. No stories of doing donuts in a parking lot or canyon carving.

Have fun boys and girls...

I autocrossed last summer. It was awesome. Really paid off to test out my yokohamas, neuspeed springs, and my KONIS. Since then i've instaleld a 22mm rear sway bar and I can't wait to test it out again. Unfortunately, my car has been in an accident (stupid guy on a motorcycle hit it) and I won't be doing anything until I get it fixed... Which will be god-knows-when because the stupid insurance agency is running me around.

your setup

for those that did road racing and autoX racing, what suspension setup do u have
and how is it holding up

i'm planning to get a set of falken azenis sport 205/50/15
AEM brake pad

sway bars(???brand)
spring(??? maybe ebiach, neuspeed, or H&R)

shock(??? don't know since there is no replacement yet)


what springs do u have and do u have new shocks with or stock shock

i heard that the stock shock can't hold up the racing requirement

are the shock(strut insert) good enough for road track racing

i'm planning to do a couple of racings at willow springs and botton willonw in Southern Cali

The konis work great..

My setup for track events:

Ground controls with konis (450 fr/ 650 r springs)
RSX-R 22mm rear swaybar.

Front konis set 1/2 firm, rears set close to 3/4 firm.

2 degrees camber front and rear (actually its probably closer to 1.5 in the rear). 0 toe front and rear.

225/45/16 Potenza S03s or 215/45/16 Azenis...

I have the Wilwood front brake kit with with Carbotech Panther+ pads.

Another very wise investment... get a good harness.

Right now I'm on stock springs and shocks
Neuspeed Upper front Strut bar
Cusco Upper Rear strut bar
Spoon Lower rear tie

I will soon have the RSX rear sway and Tein SS

Running on 17" OZ Superleggeras and Yokohama AVS ES100 tires,
Next year I'll be on 00 Si 15s with Michelin Pilot Sports (hopefully)

and I have an OMP harness on the way, I'm sick of banging around in the car.

The best Class to start autocrossing in is STOCK,You'll learn more quicker then if you start with a Prepaired car.
