Suggested R compounds and wheels for CS
Has anyone campaigned a twin in C stock this year? I was considering giving it a whirl on the local level. I don't want to modify the car but I'd still like to hit an autocross or two every month. I was wondering if there was a proven R compound size that worked best.
Any suggestions? |

Since Hoosiers are going away from stock next year, it's probably a moot point.
Hoosier A6s would have been your drug of choice. Now you have may drugs to choose from in many different sizes - RS3, ZII, Rival. Check out the RTR thread. |

@Oldfatguy you can run one more year with R comps as Street R, but I don't think there will be many in C Street R. I'd assume most would adopt the new Street rules and go directly to street tires only.

What the what? Guess I've been away from the game too long. So no R compounds on a stock car? That's wild.

yeah, you can arrive and drive a car without having to change tires and still be competetive, go figure.

I was gone 5 years and had no idea. You had the sense to ask first while I didn't. Bittersweet as R comps are so much fun, but the huge price cut will be nice.

Do I smell shaved Rivals and RS3s? >.<
I know very little of AutoX, outside of what some buddies tell me... |

Shaving street tires for a competitiveedge is the same as getting a hooker drunk before fucking her. Like… seriously?

Wow I can imagine. Last local championship I won was in STS on Falken Azenis if that tells you how long ago it was for me. I was thinking of running R compounds only to permit me to run an otherwise unmodded car and be competitive. I don't mind monkeying with the alignment and camber with crash bolts I was just trying to avoid bolting on power adders. How big of a disadvantage will I have if I don't prep to the max in RTR?

As I understand it the car is competitive out of the box in RTR - most are running OTS Koni yellows, max front negative camber, and a mildly stiffer front bar, 225/45 and 235/40 tires seem to be successful. There are a few good RTR threads in here so you can see people's setups. Last edited by Wepeel; 09-05-2013 at 10:51 AM. Reason: typo |

@Oldfatguy for legal front camber you'll need 901000394 (Subaru) / SU003-02818 (Scion). It's the same bolt used in the lower strut mount hole.
