Thanks for the advice.
In fast, out slow... err, wait a second. j/k

Look ahead as much as possible is really the best advise for autox. Always try to set yourself up for where you want to be in the next corner.

Focus on driving a better line rather than pushing the car harder. I know that my first few events i was driving "comfortable" lines, and also over-driving. Alot of time can be saved by driving a shorter line. Slaloms are a great example of this. However don't simply point your car at the next cone. You have to find a balance.

This will help your understeering.

I was looking into springs and have it narrowed down to robispec and gtworx. Does anyone know the spring rates. robi states his are near stock in the rear but higher in front. and gtwrox just states that spring rates are 20% higher than swifts. As far as camber plates what will work with stock struts?

Our rates are 290 lbs/in front and 330 lbs/in rear. 20mm drop front 15mm drop for more travel and better geometery.

A farily decent bump from stock both front and rear, but the good travel keeps everything happy.
