I have a 92 CX hatch with GSR motor, skunk2 coils, kyb agx shocks, skunk2 rear lower, and a stock gsr front upper strut bar. Anything I should consider before doing this?

Nope, bring lots of water, fill your tires up to like 35 psi and go from there. Walk the course... Walk the course... Walk the course... Walk the course... Walk the course... Walk the course...

Then find someone who is experienced and see if they will allow them to ride with you.. depends on the region.

Where are you auto-xing at?

White shoe polish, sunscreen, tire pressure gauge, helmet...

Clean out your car of any loose junk. Make sure your battery is bolted down tight. Be sure your throttle isn't binding. Check for wheel bearing play.

Actually shoe polish is being ruled out by alot of regions including ours. I would use painter's tape since it's more visible and easy to remove.
