Autocross: I got madd questions for you guys!, Info needed for the crowd that autocrosses Options

Im starting to collect my suspension for an STS Celica. I will be running my Celica in STS[N] for the winter season [3 different series] Being in STS isn't as easy as GSN was.. haha. Right now my stock springs are getting worn [stupid quick]; I will need a replacement as soon as I get the money [haha] For the autoX fellas out there.. what would you recommend???

Some might read this and not get it.. heres an example

Front XX kg
Rear XX kg


--------------------
The only other car I can really base it on are the AE92 Crowd.. although they're lighter [300 I think..] and are more rev happy [Damn their stock 4AGE..] suspension is probably closely related [setup wise]


THANKS!

Honestly for FWD cars, If you increase the spring height in the front and lower the back you get better turning vs lower the front and raise the back. Plus if you run stock tires it actually performs better than aftermarket tuner tires. One plus side if you can't raise the height is to let out some pressure from the back tires and increase the pressure in the front. Adding extra weight to the front actually makes it easier to control cornering when your sliding. Remember your not on an offical track and your just on a parking lot. A parking lot actually slides easier than real roads. What you can do in real life does not count on a lot. So no fancy moves will actually work.........such as hugging a guard rail.
