Just got through my first autocross after the rebuild and the car was great! With a good friend and hot-shoe behind the wheel the car was the 2nd fastest aircooled car and #7 PAX adjusted in a pretty big field (PCA OCR).

I'd like to get better control of the rear, inner tire. We were spinning it up quite a bit. I'm thinking more rear spring is the correct approach. Current set up:

Front:
21mm torsion bars
19mm sway bar set 3/4 hard
Rebel Racing Bushings
Monoball camber plates
19mm raised spindles
Bilstein Sports
2.5 degrees camber
5 degrees caster
1/16" toe out

Rear
225lb springs
Rebel Racing Bushings
No rear bar
Koni Yellows (full soft)
2.0 degrees camber
1/16" toe in

Tires are fairly used up Hankook C71 Z214 in a square set up (205/50-15) run at about 22lbs hot.

Granted replacing the tires would help, but even when they were new it would spin these up. I have 275lb springs sitting around that I can swap in. Am I heading in the right direction?
