Yeah the ground controls are really nice for auto-x. They use linear springs, not progressive. So you never have a point where the spring transitions between the softer progressive rate to the harder normal rate, they are always the same spring rate and more predictable and more responsive. Also ground-control will let you pick your spring rates over what they would normally be, for a small fee. And Koni yellows would be a pretty hard strut to beat with ground-controls. Plus I'll add that they have a excellent technical department.

Otherwise ground controls + koni yellows is an affordable and proven setup; as mentioned before eibach (the springs ground control uses) will let you specify custom spring rates
h: for an extra fee. Shingo

Things to buy after you get the car:
-Fix any and all maintenance items
-Snell SA2000-rated helmet
-Falken Azenis 205/50-15 tires
-Membership to yer local autocross club
Don't worry about setting up the car until you get used to tossing it around. Besides, if you learn to drive well with the stock setup then you'll have a much faster learning curve after upgrading.

Is there anyone here that is located in San Diego that goes to the autocross races at Qualcomm? Also is their any other place to race autoX other than Qualcomm? thanks!
