I wanna get into autocrossing soon and i was wondering what everyone out there is using...kyb, tockico's,eibachs,coilovers, RB..etc

I have:

DTSS Elminators
Front and Rear Strut Bars
Eibach Springs

I was thinkin' RB swaybars, and Kyb's in the back, and leave the stock aas struts in the front...just seein' what people think is a good setup for autocrossing and daily driving..All advice is appreciated. thks

Best thing to do is take the car as it is, learn it, learn the basics of auto-x'ing first, then tune your car according to your driving style and taste.

The best mod right now is seat time.

I am an autocrosser and I agree with Pat McGroin on seat time. Seat time, seat time and more seat time! Learn the basics rules of autocrossing, learn you car, and then modify your car. Also run in the novice class if possible and do not be afraid to ask an experienced autocrosser for help. Last but not least go out and have fun!

It's best to upgrade the front and rear shocks at the same time, will help keep the handling in balance.

I autocross with stock springs and shocks with RB sways, urethane bushings front, DTSS elim, strut bars front and rear, lower arm bar in the front (home made). It handles pretty well, but it's soft. The balance is good for the track, but for autocross it needs a more rear biased suspension as it understeers too much at low speeds.

The slowest part of the car is the nut behind the wheel (you). That's the best thing to upgrade, get seat time and the times will improve much more than if you bought mods. It'll also make every car you ever drive faster, as the skills you learn there are applicable everywhere.

Thks for all the info, I'm just seein' what the basic setup ppl on here use, i plan on getting a ton of seat time before most of these other mods go on. thks again

Pffft I got that on lock son, I am the stig.

I do recommend bushings for sure, a bitch to do but makes a nice difference. Good shocks are a must, adjustable damping if you can get/afford them.

Usually stuff like springs(spring rates), and sway bars are the kinds of things I change after getting used to the car and cater to your driving style.
