Default AUTOX at raceway park

I'm goin there with my friend sometime in november when he's home from college. I'll most likely have my exhaust on, but i dont think it gives me enough time to decide on and install coilovers. O well, it will be a good comparison test, stock suspension vs coilovers. So has anyone ever done autox at raceway park? how was it?

By November? Are you serious? Deciding takes a couple nights of research, and putting them on takes a weekend day.

Oh. Somehow, I thought you had cash in hand and a purchase was imminent.
That makes sense. Although the reason for getting coilovers, aside from matching spring rates to damping characteristics, is that coilovers are height adjustable.

Getting a baseline handling benchmark is probably a good idea, anyway. I so did not, and I kinda regret it.

Prediction: Your car will roll uncontrollably, and also understeer piggishly. Just an inkling.

Well i need the height adjustability being in NJ and all, and intent to start autoxing. But if everything goes well with this website i ordered the remus from, then ill probably break down and get the H&R coilover kit. I have money saved up...but this will make about a little under half of it disappear! lol But i can always work it off along with x-mas money so...we'll see.

yea my friends brother (soph in highschool) wants to go with me to videotape it. Hes a tuner in training...my understudy lol. He came over to help/watch (ending up being more watching) me paint my calipers. So he was standing there and i was like uhh, ok...take off the rear wheel. I look back and he's there struggling and grunting, haha couldnt get any lugs off. I find even if ask a person to help me with my car...i end up getting protective and do everything myself. Want something done right you do it yourself i guess. I will also do before and after vids of the exhaust.
