Default crx autox and road racers

sorry. im pretty new to crx's and the whole autox / road racer scene.
if someone could point me in the right direction... i'd like to have a competitive car.

my mods so far are..

b16a swap with intake/header/exhaust. Also have 15 x 7 wheels on 205 rubber which should help some over sotck for now.


I'd def like to get at the brakes after doing suspension. New rotors, better brake fluid, and stainless steel brake lines, and new pads. That should be good enough for starting out.


But suspension is what i really dont have a clue about. Why dont ppl get full coil overs? are the koni/GC combo better? or just cheaper?


do ppl use camber kits? what do you set them to?
what about lca's and sway and stress bars?


what mods do you recomend to get my car to be competive. ?

First of all, how much money are you willing to spend? Full coilovers would be nice, but you can have a custom setup (yellos/gc) according to your needs. Also, if you have an engine swap, you are placed in a pretty competitive class if you plan on starting autocrossing unless you just do solo runs here and there.

well to answer one of your questions, you can have springs and not have a camber kit. just make sure you get your crx aligned when you get the springs on and your good to go

In my area, SM2 is a rough class. I have to fight with a few supercharged or turbocharged miatas, a twin turbo viper and a supercharged Z06 vette.
