I autox mine regularly.

I have tried quite a few adjustments and found that a bit softer up front seems to work the best for me. As for tires the 711 will disappoint you, get either the MX or the 712 in the kuhmo line. The 712 is a good all around tire, where the MX will def hold better in the dry but fail more in the wet. Also the MX will last you about 1/2 as long. For a great auto x tire other than kuhmo, get the falken azenis. Best bang for the buck and you can drive them every day. I have personally seen these in action on cars from corvettes to honda civics at over 25 events and they really do well. I would say mabey 15% better tire in wet and dry than the kuhmo MX or the 712. Again with this tire it will only last you like 25000 miles if your lucky. They do cost a bit more money mabye 7-10 dollars more than the kuhmo's. Since you have an RS for sure you will want to get rear disk conversion. It will help you more than you would think. Paint job protection is good to think about, get some athletic tape and cover the front left and right side of you bumper to prevent cone rash on your car...god knows I wish I would have known this trick.... One more bit of advice. Get there as EARLY as you can and ride with as many cars as you can. It will make or break you. Good luck and welcome to the world of auto x!
