^ Are you running big tires in the front? Regardless at full lock my car rubs a little, no biggie. If you look inside my wheels now it funny o see how much fender liner I have worn out running my tire size with agressive alignment thats sitting low.
Just tell Steve to give you as much neg. camber in the front he can get. For the rear do the 1 degree negative camber with a little toe out. Trust me, it will work for Autox and feel good on the street. Only draw back on street is car will track a little when road surface is uneven and maybe a little more tire wear than normal.
Do not know whats up with the burning smell, that is wrong. Wheel shaking like crazy, happened to me when my lug nuts were loose and my wheel flew off on the turnpike at 70 MPH, good times man! Wheel shaking and burning smell definitely means something is wrong.

Honestly didn't. The only problem I had was the lock to lock rubbing, but it was very slight. I didn't care for it since you never really do too many lock to lock turns. I hop you get it all figured out man.
My last post was wrong, in the rear do a little toe in with 1 degree camber.
in the front as much camber as possible with toe out (I think 1 degree out) I am sure Steve will know. If you are stuck PM me and I will go get my papers to clarify.
Just a suggestion to any of you guys getting into Autox for real, get a notebook to record all settings you use for the different events you goto, alot of real good Autoxers do that religiously. Keep all your suspension settings in there too with whatever other info you need to remember, it can be really helpful. I should practice what I preach because I have everything written on business cards and loose papers. I am organizing all that prior to first event. This sounds like common sense, but I never thought to do it until I saw someone doing at Nationals.
I can't wait for this weekend, I may do Harrisburg (awesome lot) on Sat. and CBP on Sunday to set it off right this season. I haven't Autox in forever.............need my fix...

+1 I have a few whiteline booklets that are made specifically for this purpose, I think they even have feilds for you to fill out. I just need to remember to get them from work..

Those essentric bolts can be a PITA. I just had all my **** apart less then a year ago (around 6k miles) when I installed my coils. just this afternoon I had to flip that bolt 180* and it was already fu(king siezed. took about a half an hour with a BFH and torch to finally get it loose. the other side was a breeze... go figure.
Mike I'm glad you hear your setup rubs a little too. I tested mine out and it looks like the driverside will rub the fender liner a very little bit when i turn left. right side seems fine. I was stressing about it but to read that makes me not worry so much. I can still fix it with smaller spacers and a 6" spring, but its not like I can't drive the car or anything.

Well aren't you something!
lol
Pete is considering it I believe...Cy and Corey has some peeps rethinking the class, lol. I thought Mike said he was considering moving out of PRO and running regular BSP so he can run with those guys?
Not like I will give you a challenge in SM either Marc, but I'll be happy running within 2 sec of you!

I'm just hoping my car isn't going to give me any issues let alone worried about what class I'm gonna run in. I think i broke a couple of the tabs that hold the rocker panel on with my rubbing, I guess I'll see if the dealer has any but I'm sure I have to order them.
Do you think part of the problem is my car isn't lowered? That aside from the fact that I'm only running -1.3 up front...?

you could get lucky with the dealership. i did with an odd part. dambrosio told me who had it in stock and got it to me the next day.
