Setup for a slalom event.....

Well there's gonna be an auto-x/slalom event in my town and iwant to get prepped for it, so here's the deal, the only suspension stuff i got are some 16' rotas with azenis, and KYB AGX shocks, what could i do to bring the best out of this setup

1)What setting fot the shock (Front/Rear Stiffnes, KYB's got 4)

2)Tire Pressure for front and rear

3)I got a Tanabe Underbrace and a Megan Rear tie sitting in the room, would it realy make a difference if in just intall that...

4)Keep in mind that the track is kinda small, and is mostly tight turns...



Thanks for those who can help

SHocks. Your going to have to test a few settings, But soft front Stiff rear, will help the car rotate better. I run my Konis full soft on the nose and about 1/2-1/4 down from full hard on the back and then adjust as the track needs.

Tire pressure... How much negitive camber are you running? and once again you'll have to test a few things. Right now for autocross I run about 37 on the front and 33 on the back, before I added in more negitive camber I ran 45 or so front.

the extra bracing isnt going to do a hell of a lot.

0 Camber or 0 Toe? If its 0 Camber... Pick up a camber kit for the front end and bottom the thing out... You want as much negitive camber on the nose as you can get.
