The best setup for autocross on very small tracks

[Ivan141]

'real'coil-over sets are ridiculously expensive, and often just stock struts that are shortened with shorter dampers (ae92 front shocks or sw20 rears) and welded coilover perches.

You can do this yourself if you know how to weld. It may not look as pretty, but it will work the same.
T3 sells this kind of shortstroke with KYB AGX shocks. Koni shocks are perfectly okay for this application as well.

I agree with the softer springs and dampers, but you will need 6kg up front at the least to avoid rubbing (unless you dont lower it offcourse, or use low profile tires). You dont want to roll around the course like a citroen DX like my car did when I took it to slalom last summer.

The loss of dynamic camber gain can be corrected with roll centre adjusters and camber plates for more static camber.


No-one I know on this forum has a car set up for this kind of track, so it's hard to say what works best. Try finding out what the gymkhana guys use, it's one of the few close quarters slalom-like events where ae86's are used a lot.
