Is there anything like that for cheaper that is 'good enough' for short AutoX runs? My slowest lap of the weekend was a 50.2, and there is quite a bit of cooldown time between each run. (To give you an idea of the application.) With that said, I do plan on attending a drivers weekend at Portland International in the summer, and I'm betting slicks are the way to go for that.

So are the Hoosiers what you would buy? Secondly, I already have a Wilwood BBK that fits under the stock rim, is it a better idea to stay at 17"(17x9, proabably as that is the max in my class) to have the most rubber?

Can you recommend a AutoX brake pad?

I'm on stock supension.
It really depends on what class of AutoX you're going to run. I'd recommend running your car as-is for a bit, and you'll figure out what you really want.

Winmax W1, or Carbotech AX6, since it sounds like you don't have much experience yet. Get brake fluid as well.
