Hi,
I want to autocross race and am not sure what the stiffest suspension out there is. Does anyone suggest anything?

A couple thoughts....

Autocross has specific classes, from stock all the way up to heavily modified. You may want to head out with the car stock first, before you modify the car enough so that you're not going to be competitive in the group you put yourself into.

The stiffest suspension you could get would be just to weld your wheel hubs to the frame of the car, so there was no compliance. Why don't folks just do that? Because "stiffest" isn't usually the same as "best" in terms of suspension. Check out what the other autocrossers use for suspension, figure out who's the expert and who's the poser, make your move from there...

yeah, like those ricers where you can't even see the top of the tire??? those would suck at autox. they never come out either

 

I think we all understand that he's not talking about the stiffest possible suspension under any circumstances. More rather, he's probably talking about what may be the most competitive street suspension he can install on his car. I was wondering if you guys could post a few suggestions on what setups and components you guys prefer.

BTW RP, what car do you have?

 

remember...a stiff suspension car can lose to a stock suspension car, if the track is bad and the driver cant figure that out!! all ricers build the car for looks, not to race!
