auto-x stock class shocks?
What's my best bet? One friend said to get Koni adjustables because nobody ever checks, but I'd like to have a clear conscience, and as I understand it, that means no more than two positions.

If your desire to stay in a stock class in Solo II than you are permited to change out your struts (not shocks there is a differene). However, they must retain stock mounting posistions. So any strut you want would be legal for stock comp.
Konis would be a good choice. That is what I did. You have to modify your front struts to accept them. I did a write up if you are curious. http://pws.gamewood.net/~mb800/struts/struts.html However, you cannot change your springs out to aftermarket. That will take you prepared. Also, at the clubs I have raced at they do not really check your mods. You could hide a lot. However, in the sake of fairness most people do not play that way. I am sure if you were competing at national levels though there would be a check on that. James |
where you racing at? is there a link to your rule book? ill help scrutinize...
theres some funny things you can do sometime. I run under the mid-western console and my 90' GXL is a "C" class car. But in the rule book, it says 89-90 RX-7 non-turbo. So that also includes GTUs. That means i can bring my car to GTUs Spec and not get pointed..... or bumped to prepared... |
Most stock classes allow for upgrading to anything that was factory installed on the chasis at any point of its production run. LSD's, diff gearing, adjustable suspensions, heavier anti-sway bars, wider tires, stiffer springs, (you could get some vert springs) stock intake manifolds, (vdi if you can't run a ported motor) aluminum hood and the like are all fair game at that point. Most competitors aren't looking to hose the competition, but you can get away with a lot under most stock rule books.

Of course, I could be wrong. Cory |
Hey, power windows add to the totall hp capacity of the car man! j/k ;)
I could be thinking of a funky stock prepared class for the nhra too. I know there is one that allows all that stuff to be picked apart as long as it was offered from the factory. |
