What's a good setup for autocross

The car is an L98 auto 1988 IrocZ. Mainly autcross but occasional drag strip.

Thanks for your help

Factory Stock or ESP for AutoCross? Doesn't really matter in my book because everyone in both classes are out to kick serious *** with their own F-Bodies!

17"X9.5" Rims at all 4 corners with 275/40/17 Yokohama AO32R tires.
Koni Yellow or Bilstein Shocks
1.5" lower springs with a higher rate
Spohn Sway bars + Poly Bushings
Poly Trans Mount
Spohn Relocation Brackets
Spohn Lower control arms
Spohn Adjustable Panhard Rod

That's my setup plan for ESP, I'm not a serious competitor but it SHOULD work ok next year.

Check out the Road Race/AutoCross forum and contact Strano Performance. The owner is the expert with these cars and he has the National winning cars to prove it. Goodluck

Thumbs up Springs

There is a place called Vette Brakes & Products that are having a big sale on Camaro suspension systems. www.vettebrakes.com Their Hyperco coils and Bilsteins would be a good place to start. They also have upgraded sway-bars and adjustable panhard-rods.
