Might help if you ditch the rear bar.

Also, 225s won't fit worth a darn on those +20 wheels you've got. Go with a x8 +32 or x9 +36.

225s will be better, R comps better still. But with that amount of torque you'll still be able to rotate the car at will. Probably just need to work on driving smoother.

 

Yeah, I loved my wheels until I read more about proper offset and now I hate them haha. I didnt think I wanted R comps since I daily the car and drive to the course but it seems the next step is to get a dedicated track setup. Either that or I sell my current setup to cut some cost on a permanent 15x9 225 street/autox setup. Decisions decisions....

Thanks for the input

 

My car is useless at autox. Last week I drove a tight/short course and did "okay" but I drove my buddies NB with stock VVT engine, torsen, 15x9 w/ rs3's, and 500/350 springs and stock sways & managed to beat my own time.

I am on 15x9 with 225 rivals...but the tires aren't the issue

Issue 1) 700/400 xida's. Fantastic on the track,WAY too stiff for autox
Issue 2) Slightly larger than stock rear sway
Issue 3) ... a big one... 11.75 BBK with DTC-60's are on/off when cold. I struggle to find the threshold without locking up.

Long story short going to 15x9 is a very good call, but be aware there could be other changes that would greatly improve your car at autox. Street vs Autox vs Track are 3 very different car setups.

 

My friend is doing great on 700/400 konis. I am hoping the xidas will work out since it is a huge investment haha. Emilio recommended the 700/400 for strictly autox. I wont be going BBK for a while so im good there. I may try removing my rear bar also to see if that helps.

 

Big courses or small tight ****? Dampening settings make a huge difference too. I tend to play with them quite a bit depending on the course.

 

umm about 45-50 secs with a few slaloms, a sweeper then 1 or 2 extras like a chicago box or wide slalom. rarely hairpins though

 

Not many updates. Xidas got pushed back until june...... Doing some fine tuning tomorrow and had some small repairs dont last week to the front bumper. Here she is all done up.
