Proper suspension set-up Options

[hitcachi]

Well all my posting and talking to jdg and boosted on the autocross thread has me really going! My current set-up is as stands: 3 point front strut bar, 2 point rear strut bar. Front and rear Suspension techniques sway bars. Intrax lowering springs. JIC lower frame brace in the mail. and KYB GR-2's pending this question. I have a sport option GT. Should i replace the sealed struts with new ones (yes im willing to pay) or go source some other struts and install gr-2's? Also tires are being taking care of as well so thats no big thing. I need some more advice on what to do about the shocks though. Thanks!

if you are going ot autocross it you DONT want the factory spec alignment, you will want something more agressive. It all comes down to how much you want to sacrifice to gain. the more agressive you go the more your tires are going to wear, the more conservative you go the less it will want to react.

if you dont care about tire wear, you will want a healthy ammount of camber, toe out the front, and just slightly toe in in the rear (maybe even neutral). however if you still plan to drive it daily on the streets you will want to go a bit more conservative, a little less front toe out and a little more rear toe in (makes the car more stable for highway driving), you may also want a little less camber, since most daily driving is done with the vehicle settled the inside shoulders of the tire wont wear as bad.

i spent a few minutes creating an excel sheet calculating my toe setting then i spent all morning deciding how i want to get my alignment done this afternoon hehe
