I had a weird summer (well up to this point) where I really didn't get a chance to drive the car more than street use as much as usual. SO, I JUST did my first autocross last weekend after having the SS1 coilovers on since april or so.

They were great! I think better for autoX than track use if that makes sense. Track use was 'good' but for autoX I coudln't ask for more.

Started with settings dead center (I knew i wouldn't want them ANY softer than that). Car was fine, but a bit wallowy. Put them up a few clicks all around (probably around 15/19) and it was better. Then put them to full stiff up front and while they were still good, it was more nervous over ripples in pavement so backed them back off to 16/19 and left it the rest of the day. Rears were a bit softer around 14-5 out of 19.

Car was planted, had traction ALL the time and was well behaved and predictable. Won my class and was 3 seconds faster than my friend who's FRS is similar to my OLD setup before I bought these coilovers. We used to be MUCH closer comparatively, so that's my imprecise but pretty reliable meter that these have vastly improved my autoX results.
