Whats up guys.. Im building a pro-touring/autocross Grand National. Well the CCW's are on order, I have the Baer T4's in the garage, and the T/A cover and aluminum drive shaft there as well... I was going to do the Ridetech Coil over kit, but Talked to the folks over at Matts Classic bowtie and I just picked up the new Viking coil over kit, that now has a rear bracket very much like the Ridetech one..

Looks nice. GNS Performance has a lot of different pro touring options for your control arms and sway bars if you haven't looked there.

Don't forget to update thread with some eye candy!

Have you scaled the car and plotted the suspension lines yet? Getting nice parts is great but if you don't do the right set up they may not give you the best results.

You need total weight, front to rear bias, and cross bias to see what spring rates will work best and if you need to add weight to the car to get it to behave like you want.

Plotting the suspension lines means figuring out roll center and instant center position. If you need to correct them this is the time to do it.

Ahhhhh.. Im going to move the battery to the back, add an upgraded bigger aluminum radiator(lighter) and do some motor mods(aluminum heads etc) trying to move weight around...I als0 ordered the DSE Sterring box and linkage.. Im a total noob.. so Autocrossing is new.. and Im not good enough to know the difference yet from weight transfer and centering.. Im building this car specifically for autocrossing..

I hope you have some tech knowledge and are good a math. Join Eng-tips forums and sign up for the automotive sections. There's a ton of info on chassis set up which will help. You can also ask just about anything you want and you will get answers from engineers, physicists, hot rodders, as well as ordinary techs like me. It may take some time for you to understand some of the stuff but it will let you get the car set up so you can do better when you race.

Its funny a buddy of mine works at Ridetech.. he rolls a 1967 Camaro and Im going to beg him for help too.. I have a full shop with lifts and such so adjusting and modifying shouldn't be an issue
