Hello i know the summer racing season is still in affect but im already thinking abt nxt yr. Im not going 2 say money isnt an issue I will work my hardest to get these parts over the winter. I am trying to build around some Ohilns coilovers. Do you think this winter wish list is alright wht should I add or remove? Looking to do autox and HPDE. Dont worry abt what autox class i fall into this is just a parts wishlist. and im trying to get this car a bit more power and make it handle like a gem. I want to do it right the 1st time. THis is a DD want to make it be driveable on the street a bit

Goal:
Whiteline front sway bar
Energy suspention master bushing kit-black edition
Lightweight battery kit
Perrin- Positive steering response system adding caster
Titanium Exhuast system
Dyno Tune
Race alignment
Works drop in filter
Brake Pads --Carbotech Bobcat brake pads??
SS brake lines
Evo 9 bov
Stainless steel brake lines
Brake fluid
Whiteline Steering Precision Kit
Z1 star specs

Maybe:

Perrin/Whiteline endlinks
LICP
Rotors

 

Where's the rear sway? In my opinion, you should do that over the front.

 

Sway bars will help a lot with the total package. Whiteline makes an awesome product so you might want to consider them. If your looking to drop some weight you can also get rear diff supports and/or mustache eliminator bar.

 

So the only thing im missing is a rear sway? also no mustache i dont want all that added vibration this is also my DD

 

Well, what AX class do you want to run in and how competitive do you want to be? What Ohlins do you have? What spring rates?

Do both sway bars. And needs track pads if you are doing HPDEs.

 

Titianium exhaust will cost a fortune.... I don't think they are worth the expense. Get an extra set of BBS rims for cheap and have a dedicated track tire.

A good set of R-compound tires and race brake pad will make more difference than all those other mods combined.

I suggest Carbotech XP12s and a nice 255-40-17 sticky tire.

 

Carbotech XP12s WTF Jeff? This guy needs to search real hard before he does anything.

 

I agree, he should also learn on street tires before even touching the r-comps.

 

LOL.... I think the XP12s have better initial bite. They sure beat the bobcats he had listed. Hopefully I'm suggesting something familiar to him.

I was a fanboy of learning to drive on street tires first but I'm not so sure about that anymore. If one wants to be competitive right from the start R-comps tend to make that happen. One can learn to drive on either.

 

lol i actually dont have the ohlins right now im trying to build the car around them b4 i buy them. Im going 2 ride the coilovers on soft for DD and sightly stiff for the track. I will adjust as needed I want a single damper. I want to start on star specs I have them now and I love them. I think about gettin r compunds later. I also love lightweight parts i like the little advantage over someone else (power to weight) so im going 2 get a Ti exhaust.

Back to the subject. Are they anymore parts i should consider for a better suspension?

 

Please use words. Text speak is annoying all 2 hell to read.

Ill ask again - what AX class do you want to run in and how competitive do you want to be? What are all the mods on the car (power too). And have you ever tracked the car?

If any are "don't know" or "none" then SEAT TIME - lots and lots of seat time.

 

titanium isnt worth the price tag,. Get a buschur without a muffler light as hell. Why not just dump it at the downpipe. Uber weight reduction.

 

yeah, definately do what others have mentioned, get a REAR sway bar over the front. at least the rear first! whitelines 24mm adj. bar is a nice product!

Whitelines roll center kit too!

 

Autocross class STU.
Local Champ
Power Mods so far none im looking to build this winter.
Seat Time im working on now.

 

Both sway bars - if you are doing any. But that really depends on the spring rates of your suspension.

Here are a ton of awesome threads to read up on:

And see the STU thread in Motor Sports. That is an excellent source.
