road racers, what suspension setup are you guys running?
I want to eventually track my car. Currently, it has a front sway bar, tokicko illuminas, suspension technique springs, and a RB strut tower bar.
The car understeers a little too much for my tastes. I couldn't get more negative camber out of the front wheels with the stock setup so I'm thinking of buying the racing beat lower control arms.
Any 1st gen road racers out there that can recommend a good setup for me?

Well, my setup is mostly for autoxes, but it worked pretty well on the track. What I would add to my setup is the bumpsteer correction block thing, but autox rules says I can't run them. If you have the money, the next thing I'm looking into is the Gforce engineering tri link and pan hard.
I just realized that you are local, come out to an autox sometime and I can give you a ride in the car...

On my ITA car i have tokico illumas with eibach springs. I believe the spring rates are 300lb front and 200 lb rear. i have a panhard bar, no rear sway bar, and a racing beat 1-1/8" front sway bar. Of course i also have camber plates (that i made) front strut tower brace (that i made) and poly bushings everywhere that they were available to put in.

you might want to consider weed wackers setup of camber plates, (store bought are just fine) you can get the neg camber you really need, i am not sure you need lower control arms as the camber plates (which allow adj from the top of the shock) give you easy adjustment, and a very very wide range......also buy a set of toe plates, they are cheep and you can check/reset your toe after adjust camber.......suspension setup is not a one time thing, you set it and check/adjust it for every event, and every track you run..

This is indeed for my FB. The FD handles fine =)
Does anyone know if camber plates will fit without a coilover setup? I heard that you need coilovers for a 1st gen or need to modify the strut to fit camber plates can anyone verify this?
