RE: Suspension Information
Check out the stick on the 12sc 2v. Hes got about the perfect setup for drag racing.
I dont really know jack about auto-x'ing. With looks, just get a kit that says 2in-2.5in drop and it would look great.

RE: Suspension Information
MMFF has some good tech articles on suspension.
Maximummotorsports.com has good info too (and great telephone tech support).
I have almost every part that MM makes for my car except the ajustable sway bar (coming in the summer)... and I can't say enough for how well it rides.BTW - I'm set up for Auto-X

I'm just wondering how your car feels in Auto-X being a Convertible.. What have you done for chassis stiffening; subframes, torque bar?

A picture is worth a thousand words:

I haven't Auto-X'd yet, but with the subframes, strut tower brace, and the Autopower roll bar, I don't expect too much chassis flex.

RE: Suspension Information
Interesting... Are those Koni's or Bilsteins??
Looks nice though.. I'm still not quite sold on the 'Vert, but then again, I've always been a hardtop guy..
I was also under the impression though, that you couldn't use subframes w/ a Torque arm... Are those subframes, or just some general chassis stiffening??
