Autocross build

IcySN195 · Apr 21, 2013

Hoping to start with a full length sub frame connector. New bushings all over.Struts. Any other ideas for suspension? I'm sitting on 255/40/17 cooper zeon RS3s brand new on 17 inch bullits.

Hoping to build a suspension that can handle the shitty Minnesota roads

A good set of c/as all the way around would be a must man. Get some good shocks too. But before I sound like a jackass that has no idea what I'm talking about.... [MENTION=17007]RichV[/MENTION] knows wassup with autocross lol

Not an auto cross expert here...but, lowering springs, adjustable struts and sub frames like you mentioned,
adjustable caster camber plates, strut support brace, maybe a k-member, irs/ 3 link/ watslink if you wanna put the money in one, a wider wheel then a 255.

Subframes are allways a good start! Then get some good springs and shocks/struts.

Thanks for the props!

Any suggestions on where to get em? I'm looking to weld em on before may 4th, I'm hoping to try out my first beginner autocross event near me.

Looks like your build I going the same direction as mine, I'm interested to see where it goes, good luck! Tires, tires, tires!

First off, what class are you wanting to run? Basic street mods can and will send you up to the top level classes very very quickly. 4.10s and full exhaust, and my car was in C Prepared, which usually includes wildly built cars that get trailered to events.

If your car is stock, I'd leave it there and run a few events with it like that. You'll be running in the Novice class for the first few events anyway and it takes a good drive to be fast at autocross, not a good car. Learn your car and make mods to make it handle more like what you want. Take a look at the rulebook and see what mods you can make for whatever class you'd like to shoot for.

I would go with Maximum Motorsports or J&M. But a lot of good ones out there from Kenny Brown, Steeda, Briggs, etc. See what American Muscle or CJ has. May have some deals going on.
