Looking for AutoX supporting mods for my TC

Does anyone know if the Eibach Front & Rear Sway Bar Kit from OTTP fit the SS/TC? and would anyone recommend Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs or something else?

Stay away from Eibach everything. None of it is any good for handling. Get a powell Hardcore bar, and Pedders, and some better tires.

^^^ PM those guys on the Pedders. Great pricing.

Don't believe him on the Ferrari? lol Why not, I beat an STR-10 Viper in my Saturn SC2 a few years ago. He trailered it in a big fancy enclosed trailer and I talked to him before the event. Then he laughed at me when I told him what I drove. beat him by 2+ seconds on a 60 second coarse. He never showed his face again. haha

HAHA! Just because you can buy an expensive car doesn't mean you can drive it. I am actually going to be getting the Pedders and the OTTP Hardcore bar myself for this years autox season. From what I have read its the way to go.

I tried to thumbnail it but yeah he wouldn't put his foot in it. That guy even let his daughter drive it and she put her foot down but she is a cone eater.

Our cars AutoX really well even with terrible tires and stock parts. I got some more power but I need something to stop the car from leaning into turns and some better rubber. Stiffening and lowering should help tremendously.

Autocross is def 80% driver 20% car. A guy with a yaris at the FAST event that I compete in destroys majority of the field and those include lotus's vettes and a ton of other cars that should destroy that little beater. He literally puts the car on 3 wheels its awesome to watch.
