I'm not sure how to reply except with my setup. I built this setup for daily driver, and auto-x.
-Sprint sports 1.5" drop -Tokiko Ill 5 way adjustable -Sus Tech front/rear sways -brembro f/r cross drilled/slotted rotors w/ceramic pads and SS lines. -f/r upper and lower tie bars. -race tires for auto-x, kuhmo V700 205 wide (no compare to street tires, these stick like glue) -daily driver tires, hankook k104 225 wide (had to roll rear fenders) -15 dollar camber mod, nothing up front. -energy sus. motor mounts.
I am sure I'm forgeting some stuff on there too, anyway this setup does very well at the auto-x events, (I'm in SM due to the turbocharger setup), I always seem to do 4-6th place consistantly. The only time I have traction problem is durring trail braking manuvers. If I'm comming into a turn where my speed it a bit too fast, and I try to trail brake (use my brakes during the turn), my rear end will swing out. I can typically correct but I lose time due to the correction. I have tried almost all combo's for my settings and it never seems to eliminate the tail spin totally, although it is very predictable. Anyway that is the only complaint I have with this setup. It does ride a bit rough even with my shocks on their lowest setting. I'm going to guess that everyone has these problems with similar setups. I don't know if I have helped any here, these are just my experiences with my setup.
