cusco street zero-A pb coilovers

[Ricks919]

so ive been rocking these coilovers for a few months now, cusco street zero-a with pillowball mounts. super nice. never had coilovers on anything before so im super new to suspension tuning (although i absolutely love the way these feel already!), i feel there is more to them.. ive done a lot of research already and kind of have an idea how to set up coilovers in general, im just curious about this style of coilovers specifically.... any input? i dont necessarily want to go any lower with it, i just wanna dial it in super nice lol. plan to start autocrossing hopefully next spring, but havent yet. thanks in advance!

Experimentation > random suggestions, you will have to figure out what you like and what works for your driving style and your car and your local venues.

Get the car aligned, set the damping based on the manual that came with the coilovers, and enjoy!
Focus your energy on having fun and improving your driving, odds are first time out you'll get beaten by a guy with a nearly stock car and good tires.

Here's the big thread on setting up an STX car (the class you'll be in if you run SCCA with coilovers), don't be intimidated by not having every piece necessary to be 'competitive', you can get mighty close with a good alignment, coilovers, and the right tires.

Here's an 80's SCCA video series on autocrossing, not much has changed.

Far North Racing created the modern autocross textbook because it's free, on the internet, and mostly makes sense and jives with other peoples experiences. Probably not the best to read it now, but the first page is a great forewarning about embarking on building a good autocross car.
