Question autocross?

Has any one tried autocross in a B&B? If so, what suspension improvements did you do?
Thanks, Jason

The first thing you need is a good set of autocross tires.

I think I'd have to respectfully disagree with Dons' post. If you have never autox'd before, you do not want to get a set of autox tires. Nor do you want to worry about doing any suspension upgrades. The autox tires will let you get away with bad habits and inadequate skills.

Ask most any autox'er and they'll tell you the best thing you can do is go out there with your car on street tires and stock suspension. Find out where its' limits are, learn how the car handles and reacts to different inputs, and what it does when pushed slightly over that limit. Once you've mastered those skills, then go ahead and start upgrading tires and suspensions. You will find no shortage of autox'ers who will be more than happy to help you out.
