Well all my posting and talking to jdg and boosted on the autocross thread has me really going! My current set-up is as stands: 3 point front strut bar, 2 point rear strut bar. Front and rear Suspension techniques sway bars. Intrax lowering springs. JIC lower frame brace in the mail. and KYB GR-2's pending this question. I have a sport option GT. Should i replace the sealed struts with new ones (yes im willing to pay) or go source some other struts and install gr-2's? Also tires are being taking care of as well so thats no big thing. I need some more advice on what to do about the shocks though. Thanks!

Tercels has a stronger amount of people that race theirs lol and i dont even race a 6gc (though i did at one point) i find it funny how many more people here are obsessed w/ drag racing. drag racing is for fast cars, autocross is for fast drivers. what is fun is watching someone bring some super modified street car out to an autocross and get totally frustrated because their $5k+ suspension SUCKS because its improperly setup.... its fun turning faster times than them and having them go "**** you must have some crazy suspension mods, whats done to it?" and being able to respond "its stock except some adjustable dampers and a front swaybar" -------------------- Believer, you'll leave her, in leaving them all No but I don't buy it Like anything you do, as anyone you are Cause I'm...

We had our first auto x here in lincoln, ne in like years and i went to it. Needless to say, there were all these built cars but no one knew how to handle them on the track. Then a couple of stockies would show up and waste everyone. Except for this lotus. That damn thing ate everyone alive. But thats why i want to get into auto x. -------------------- Teh Celica sleeps for Winter '06. Suspension overhaul begins........
