Re: best spring and shock combo for auto x

figure out what class you want to run in, then get the rules for that class and see what you can actually do. No point buying a pile of parts if they will make you illegal.

Re: best spring and shock combo for auto x

As long as you don't switch to a coil-over setup, most shocks are allowed in any class. My Konis can be used in the SCCA stock class, but my springs can't. Springs on the other hand are way different. If it isn't a direct stock replacement it won't be allowed in the stock class. Any lowering springs or stiffer then stock springs will bump you up.

Are you going to be running with the SCCA?
