Autocross
What is you guys' setup for autocross? I autocross the other day and i am suffering with body roll... I have racing beat springs, koni red for the front, tokico blue for the rear, and Sumitomo HTR 200 195/60/13 tires... I will be putting in the energy suspension bushing sometime soon, would racing beat front sway bar help?

I do a little AutoX in my 83. It has Tokico springs, KYB shocks/struts, stock (for now) sway bars, and 205/50-15 Falken ZE-502's on 15X7 wheels. RB springs make a car look like a 4X4 next to mine. I don't have quite as much body roll as stock, but still more than I want.
I plan to add new sway bars, and an LSD, along with a little better tires. The rear shocks are a tad soft, so I may swap them out soon too.
Just be aware of what certain mods are allowed, before getting bumped to the next class.

I have Eibach's, Illumina's, poly bushing and ST sways. On the stock tires, the tires broke loose before I had body roll. With the bigger tires I have since installing the widebody, I'm now getting some minor roll.
Sway bars will stop the body roll more than struts and springs. The grip I have now is almost scary.

Front will do the most. I have both and the rear is adjustable. I think I bought mine from Summit for 220 something. Running stock size tires, many autocross and roadcourse racers upgrade the front and remove the back.
Check out the race tech section. Lots of good stuff there and more than you will want/need to know.
