I have an eg hatch "cx" i am biulding for autox and some track days but i also drive it on the street.

setup of the car:sir-g motor with lsd,mfactory roll center ajusters,gsr rack with no p/s hooked up,tanable sustec pro coilovers for now,gsr brakes all the way around,hard race front controll arm bushings and rear railling arm bushings "coming soon"
traction bars,roll cage coming soon,front and rear camber ajusters coming soon

I was wondering what is a good spring rate for my setup and should i run sway bars and what size front and back should i use?Also what is a good camber setting for front and rear and what should i set my toe at.

i will be driving his car on the street but i am willing to sacrifice some ride quality be stiff aint to big a deal just nothing to harsh.the car does have full interior but its a cx with no power anything.i do not daily drive the car just weekend/spirited driving

thanks guys really appriciate all the help and knowledge from the racing section

 

1. drive the car as is, then make your decision.

 

What NTCustoms said...
But a lot of this is dependent on what tires you are going to run. For example, if you run r-compounds you will need a lot more spring rate and more bar. Alignment will depend on how confertable you are driving the car. Toe out will make the car more loose. Can you handle that? A auto-x set up will be different than one for open track. You need to give a lot more info to get a better answer. You are giving very generic questions, and its hard to give a good answer.
So yeah, just drive it as is like NT said. Get some driving under your belt, then worry about set up...

 

Get some seat time, learn to drive the car bone stock, and drive it well.
Misconception is you have to buy everything to make it go faster, when 80% or more is the driver itself.

Seat time..

 

Not to hyjack the tread but i have a camber queston.
I did auto-crosses last year and am going to do solo-sprints this year. When i was doing the school for my solo-sprint, i noticed a lot of wear on the outer edge of my RA-1s, Iam only running -.8degreed of camber in the front and -.6degreed in the rear. I was thinking of bumping that up to -1.5 or -1.8 front and -1 to -1.3 in the rear. to try and help the tire wear out. But i drive the car 90KMS a day to and from work, and dont want to kill my wheel bearings. Iam more interested in getting to most life out of my tires.

So will the increase in camber kill my wheels bearings or is it not enoff to hurt them, and is it enoff to help my tire wear problem?

Oh yeah, same car as above 95 Hatch CX. stock d series motor. spring rate just under 400 and 22MM front and rear sway bars.

 

ok guys i no about seat time and all that stuff.im just trying to get a good setup up for both i no they r different but i will be most likely be running street tires prolly bfg's or falken azenis,im just trying to get a decent setup to start with then ill fine tune it im pretty comfortable with the car just seems to be a little sloppy

 

also ive heard not to rn front sway bars to get the car to turn is this true

 

yeah im actually setting up my ride for autoX as well and had bought gsr front/rear sway bars. I was recomended to drive it stock first, then try the rear sway bar but never put the front for AutoX. Keeping the back stiff lets you whip it around corners much easier. But can you handle that tho. Im not sure since im a noob. Im gonna drive my car stock for a while b4 adding to many thing. i wanna make sure i know what its needed for my specific conditions...

Im also getting rid of boom box and rear seat when autoXsing

 

Run the stock front swaybar.

 

i dont have any sway bars on the car what size should i run on the front and rear

 

Right now I wouldent worry about it too much. But when you are ready, get one off an ex. Im not sure what size that is though...
