Daily driver and autocross setup thoughts

cabotgsxr · 03-05-2012, 01:13 PM

Almost ready to pull the trigger on my suspenion this is what i have in mind. Tell me what you think? Whiteline front and rear sway bars, koni yellows, and swift r's, and adjustable camber arm's haven't decided on those yet. The car will be mainly street driven but will be autocrossed quite a bit? What are your thoughts on this setup?

depends what class you are trying to run really.

Well to be honest i have went to one autocross event. And i fell in love with it. Im not to up on the differences between the classes.

if you are not competative just do whatever you want to your car and just tell them when you get there you dont know what class you are in, they will tell you. but your list of parts looks like a good start.

If you're just getting into autoX, I'd suggest you don't change ANYTHING yet. Your desire for some mods will put you right into a street prepared class and you'll get annihilated. It doesn't take long from the time you first start autocrossing to the moment when you want to be competitive and start winning your class. You'll be sorry you swapped those parts in if you're truly interested in the autox'ing.

You have to spend way more money to be competitive. A well prepped SP car cost over $7500 in mods....

Cabot you need to decide if you just want to have fun in autoX or become a serious racer in it. If you don't care where you place and just want to learn the limits of your car then Mod away. If trophies are important stay stock for awhile. I'm already modded and haven't autoX'd mine and now that I'm getting a ZL1 Camaro I won't be autoXing the Z.

I have been racing all my life. I bought the z with the intention of this. Since I posted this original post I went ahead and purchased the whiteline's sways and endlinks and tein mono flex coilovers. Alond with the efdc and adjustable camber arms and toe bolts.
