Alright you autox guys.....I'm going to do an autox this next weekend and I plan on using my Yokohoma Advan A048 road race tires. I figure they are better than the Yokohoma ES 100 street tires I use on the street. I don't autox often and am not going to get autox tires. In fact I haven't done an autox in the 914 in several years, I'm doing DE's with the car. My question is what cold tire pressure front and rear should I start with? Also, I'm picking your brains, only have front sway bar. Leave connected or disconnect? Using adjustable Koni's front and rear. Go all the way soft? Maybe between soft and full hard? (get your mind out of the gutter and after this go to the sandbox).....
The car is a six with flares. 7" fronts/225/50/15 and rears are 8" 225/50/15's. The car weighs about 2250lbs. Any input would be helpful...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) The tires look like this: |

Don't you dare unhook your front sway bar. If you had a rear you might hook it up but the jury is about equal on the necessity for that.
