Took your advice and went stiffer. 18k front 14k rear. Interested to see how the digressive shock, custom swifts with matched valving and pillowball Shock mounts do compared to the KW's. Have my appointment for corner balance and alignment in a few weeks. I will still be daily driving the car a bit, but it's slowly winding down. So in the past I went with -2.5 front -1.8 rear camber. Deciding between -2.8 front -1.8 rear or -3 and -2. I'll be running a square OEM rear Rays setup with 295/30r19 R888's. Not sure if I'll have fitment issues with the front but I know I've had a 295/30 Hoosier A6 on the OEM 19x9 with no rubbing. Any suggestions to what I should do for alignment settings?

Still sorting mine out to be honest. Last season I ran ~-3.0 front, ~1.5 rear.

So I stumbled in to an AutoX today, it was an event in Savannah (SCCA Buccaneer I think) I found online yesterday, so I was a bit under prepared....
My Z is 100% base stock 7AT, I looked up the class I should be running online as I signed up and I ran B Street. We were given six runs... So I had room for improvement, especially as a n00b. First run: 62.019 VDC On Last run: 55.421 VDC off 5/9 B class finish, Cars beaten: Boxster Corvette Boxster S S2000 So much fun. Think I'm addicted. I liked B Street but I saw some 350s in ST(?) Classes so I might try that next. Will post videos when they get to me. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk |

Be careful. Autox can be a very addictive and expensive hobby.

13.2 -A,E: I can get paddles for my convenience. -G:Roll bars can be bolted or welded in, cages must be bolted -I: I can add a rear trailer hitch. 13.3 - Any tires that fit the OEM wheels and fenders are OK. 13.4 - I can use rims +/- 1 inch from stock. Spacers are OK, but iffy. 13.5 - Shock absorbers.... No idea... Help? 13.6 - I can get new pads, and should probably upgrade to the oem sport brakes. 13.7 - I can use 1 aftermarket bar. Any bushing material is permitted. 13.8 - Suspension... pls help? 13.10 - Does this mean I can use a cat-back exhaust? Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk |

And yes you can use a cat-back exhaust. Not much else for power mods or that'll bump you up a class. STR sucks for the Z because you're limited to 255 tire size which is nothing for such a heavy car. |

Trailer hitch is completely legal. A lot of people have little utility trailers to get there autox wheels/tires to the event. Quote:

As far as pads go I'd recommend Ferodo DS2500 pads.

My highest priorities right now are taking care of grip and body roll. Researching now if 245/275 tires might fit my base rims. Koni yellows are going through the home approval process, but I had to concede the CF paddle shifters.

Here's video from our first points autox event of the year. I think the 370Z can still be competitive even though it's moved up into B Street last year. It might depend on the course. We have several drivers who run corvettes and S2000s in BS in my region, several of whom are nationally competitive. I guess we'll see as the year progresses.
1st in BS, 3rd PAX of 131. https://youtu.be/m3Krt2dmweg |
