Coilover setup for Auto X

Just installed Fortune Auto 500 coilovers with swift spring upgrade and I wanted to know if anyone has any suggestions or tips on best setup for auto cross. I'm thinking of going very stiff in the front and soft in the rear to get it to kick the *** end out a bit to get around the turns better instead of just plowing. Has anyone run these coilovers for something like this and if so what worked best?


Thanks

That's the opposite of how it works, that is a recipe for understeer. You will want to stiffen up the rear significantly.

I would start off with something that is roughly equal in terms of front and rear stiffness. Do you have adjustable sway bars? This makes it much easier to adjust stiffness than changing out springs.

No I don't have adjustable sway. All I can do is stiffness and see what works best. Thanks for the info.

The D2 Racing Rally series are great for them. We have personally used them for AutoX on our EVO.

Just like the other person said stiffen the rear to the max or you will get a decent amount of understeer also set your alignment to -3 in the front(camber) and -1.5 to -2.00 for the rear(camber)
