Autocross Setup

What are the different setups you are using for setup? Air pressure front and rear? Wheel and tire size? Lowered.... how much? Camber front and rear? Toe front and rear. Thanks to everyone that answers. I drive a 2006 Cobalt SS Supercharged.

There are different thoughts on rear pressure for FWD car and which is best, I have been recently trying 42 or so psi in front and about 30 or less in the rear. I use Toyo RA-1 235/40r17's but I am thinking I would like a wider set all around but haven't too much thought into it. I am also running on Sportline spring but am going to trade someone for there Prokit springs and hoping it works better. I did the sloting of the knuckle mounts on the front struts to get -1.7 * of camber, can't remember the toe. The rears you can't really do much unless you get shims. Seat time seat time seat time is the best thing you can do for your car.

I run similar tire pressure, 40 front and 32 rear on the stock Pirelli's (almost like slicks now). Otherwise, I am just running the stock suspension and an Ingalls torque dampener (check to make sure this is legal in the class/organization you run with).
Last month was my 1st Auto-X after a 16 month hiatus.

Auto-Xing is tough w/o the G85 pkg.

Seat time is king!
