Just remember that when you set your car up to rotate really good in an autoX, you may be end up with a street car that will be an oversteering handfull in an emergency. In a past chapter of my life (30 years ago), I used to do this to Saab Sonetts. Sticky tires, a couple of degrees of negative cam...

I have been looking at the supplied spring rates with the popular coilover setups out there. Most are 7kg front/ 5kg rear, except the TEIN which is 8/6. Autocorssers usually run either the same rate all the way around, or a little higher in the back than the front. This helps the Impreza rotate much...

James Swanson (hope he doesn't mind me spilling the beans on his car) is running 500 lb springs all around. He drives his car daily. I drove it on the street and I thought it was fine. This is probably as much spring as you want without revalving the Konis. Since your car is heavier, the rule of th...

Suspension gurus. Spring rates for my car, w/ Konis.
I had originally planned on coilovers, but I have decided that I don't really give a crap about height adjustability. I am going to try and take the Ron Popeil approach and "set it and forget it".....well, aside from the adjustable konis. Need some input regarding spring rates for my car. ...

If I had not hit a cone, the only real cars that would have beat me would have been chadwick's stars/stripes vette and the ESP Camaro....very frustrating. edit: Actually I take that back. Brian Johns would've still finished ahead of me as well as that blue SM2 Miata. However, I will say that the sca...
