Here is my current set up.

3g rear suspension with the 19mm 3g sway bar. My BC coilovers were set to 8 front and 10 rear, spring rates are 670/335.
My alignment was set to
Front left------------------Front right
Camber -1.8-------------Camber -1.8
Caster 5----------------Caster 4.2
Toe -0.02------------Toe 0.01

Rear left-----------------Rear right
Camber -1.2------------Camber -1.2
Toe 0.07------------Toe 0.06

Front brake had Wilwood Ploymatrix D pads ( Thanks Todd at TCE for recommending them)
Rear brake had posi quiet street pads.(evo8 brembos)

Today was the first time I used this. My turn in was alot better than my last set up.The slalom had a bit of oversteer. I didn't have any understeer at all.( could be that i didn't over drive the car) I was able to accelerate out of the corners better than my last setup. I was a bit skeptical about the BC coilovers, they helped alot over my old KYB GR2 with the Eibach sportline springs.

My old run journal DSM Forums - My Autocross blog.

My region SCCA site Buccaneer Region

The polymatrix D pads had better feel and bite over the old polymatrix Q.

Hopefully I will get some pictures and or videos up. The results will be up some time this week.

And I need more seat time.

As of right now, I'm in the works of picking up a sponsor for my tires from one of the local tire places. It should be a larger discounted price on top of my military pricing. I hope this works out. I might get lucky and they will sponsor all three of the cars we use.
 
What happens when you let off at the wrong time.

Some time this week my times will be up.
I may need to do some brake ducting and or change pads again.
My brakes were sticking a bit on my fifth run, and after my sixth the were sticking really bad. Took little over a hour to cool down enough to drive home. Not sticking now. It was just the fronts.
 
seems like your car is running pretty strong. do you know what power your putting down? I also have a gst that I originally built to drag so Ive got to come down in power a lot before I attempt to auto cross it. IM thinking im gonna start off in the 350-400whp range and see where I need to make changes because all Ive ever done is run the mountain roads with friends and drag raced a couple times so Ive got a lot to learn.

Well power range I don't know. The car is quick. Find a good set of tires, they make a hell of a impact on times. Right now I'm having a blast doing this autocross, with a couple of my friends. Ask if you need ideas on anything.
 
well right now Im running 235/45r17 hankook evo v12 tires and Im impressed with them for being $98 each LOL. I read a review on them in a Dsport magazine and they were on a evo performing on a road course and they review really well. But I had 235/40r18 Sumitumo HTR ZIIIs on my non turbo and riding the mountain roads they never let lose but I also didnt have but 95hp then so I think that heped traction LOL, now having over 400whp boy does that make a difference. Also when I have my evo 8 I had 245/40r18 Nitto 555 radials boy do they perform like total dudu in corners.
 
Well since this autocross season went to waste due to me being deployed. I have made plans to do an AWD swap when I return. I have a good shell to use and have all parts for the job. Next season should be good.
