I'm always looking for my next autocross tire and noticed that the new Bridgestone is what everyone is using at nationals. With the new 285 released I wanted to ask if anyone has used these with our low camber cars and had any overheat or roll over issues? I run on concrete often and dont want anything to wear out tremendously fast.
Really hoping the Kumho v720 will get released, i loved the XS but havent seen any 19's |

Nice pics! so next time someone tells you AK do not exist and last I heard he is a robot, show them these pics hahah DSC_0827 by brendan sobers, on Flickr What I like about this pic is you can see how front tire traction diminishes with a turn of a steering wheel..

Anyone use Forgestar 14's in 18" for autocross? I am trying to find a good 18" wheel for autox that comes in gunmetal and is not over $1500.

I was thinking about getting them with the RE71r's too. seemed like it would be a decent combo.

Possibly looking into replacing my KW v3's with the new BC DR coils. The digressive dampening may be a bit better to autocross and I can get custom spring rates and valving to better fit my needs compared to the softer progressive springs on the kw's. I was thinking 13/11k springs - what's everyone's thoughts on this? I'm running in ASP using a 295/30r19 R888 setup this year. Hoping to move to Hoosier A6's next year.

Too soft at both ends.
fwiw I have 1100 lb springs up front and 900 lb springs rear. Could probably go a little softer in the rear (maybe 800 lb springs).

IMHO it's not too bad. Wouldn't want to do any serious road tripping in the car but a 4-5 hour drive isn't too miserable. I do have a slightly higher tolerance though for NVH.

You run 315 Hoosiers (bro), right gomer? That's some crazy spring rates! equivalent to about 20k/16k. Haven't heard of anyone running those rates but I guess when you have that much sticky tire...

Yeah I run 315 A7's. The spring rates aren't really that crazy for a full on autox build. The 370 just requires a lot of spring. If you go and look at other threads on here you'll see other's that went all out race suspension have really stiff springs also.
