Any AutoX cars? What's needed?
I was wondering what do you guys do to make your f-bodies handle? sway bars? coil overs? what do they make for our cars if we want to autox or run canyons?

Sam Strano will love this thread.
I suggest a 35mm front sway bar with poly parts and Koni shocks all around. According to Sam thats a potent combonation.

I have a lot of buddies with a lot of work in cars, and they cant drive for crap, but their car makes them look good. I have a roomate who autocrosses a stock 91 escort and runs faster than pretty much everything at the event... Its almost always the driver, not the car that needs improving... thats just my 2 cents with 7 years of autocrossing under my belt

On the other hand, this fellow might already have things done that preclude him from running in stock anyway, and could benefit from certain other parts.
Chris is right... driver is HUGELY important, and the biggest single thing that makes for a fast autox time. Of course a crappy setup is no help, and bone stock can be improved on BIG TIME and be legal in stock category as well.
Autocross is something I have a *little* experience with.

That said, it seems you have poly bushings in the front arms (maybe they are somewhere else, just basing on your sig.....), those aren't legal at all in stock class.
