Autocross: I got madd questions for you guys!, Info needed for the crowd that autocrosses Options

[jdg371]

Im starting to collect my suspension for an STS Celica. I will be running my Celica in STS[N] for the winter season [3 different series] Being in STS isn't as easy as GSN was.. haha. Right now my stock springs are getting worn [stupid quick]; I will need a replacement as soon as I get the money [haha] For the autoX fellas out there.. what would you recommend???

Some might read this and not get it.. heres an example

Front XX kg
Rear XX kg


--------------------
The only other car I can really base it on are the AE92 Crowd.. although they're lighter [300 I think..] and are more rev happy [Damn their stock 4AGE..] suspension is probably closely related [setup wise]


THANKS!

Prep since I have money again. Getting an alignment [finally!]

I have two 2dot and two 3dot camber bolts.. are the rears adjustable? I haven't messed around with alignment and not sure if its possible to put camber bolts in the rear. If it is.. I will put the 3dots in front and 2dots in the rear.

from what ive read.. 1degree front and 1.5degree rear is ideal?

I will be running on some.. Azenis 215s [older version]

Put the smallest bolts you have in the front should be able to get about 2.5 degrees negative camber.
The rear is adjustable, though I have not messed with it, stock you should be able to get about 1 degree of negative camber.

I would also go with zero toe in the rear and about 1/8" total toe out in the front. (these are based on a stock class car)

And yes you will wear your tires at an angle.

Forgot something else.

The old hot stock autocross set-up used to be running GT struts in the front and Convertible struts in the rear. Possibly a lower cost alternative then adjustables.
