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!

I've got some pretty extreme camber. I don't know how it got that way. When I got it alinged, I told my buddy to give me a little negative camber for autoX and solo2. You can tell the tires lean in just buy looking at it from in front or behind. The back is worse though. It's actually okay for street use. I run 90 on the highway every now and then, and it doesn't get unstable. And the tires haven't worn much. We'll see how it goes with that though.

Also, as anyone ever tried drilling the stock shocks to get the oil out, then replacing it with motorcycle shock oil? I've heard of doing this with some different kinds. They say it's risky if you don't get all the old out or the right amount back in. I'm just wondering if there are many problems with that.

Last thing, we need to get more on the suspension set-up sticky. I want to know what are the best springs to use for my autoX and solo2 careers.

OMGFEHIOCNEHGFOHERGVNSKLJVNOER!!!! I couldnt agree with you more! I learned a long time ago that my celica was too slow to d*ick with right now, so i have been dumping money into the suspension. Bulldog, what size tires do you have? Shocks are my main concern, granted there isnt too many options out there but... i was thinkin about some tokico blues? Any input on these or any other shocks would be awesome. Dan, where are you!!
