Here's me in action. This was before I got wheels and tires, and after I put on Eibach springs and Koni Shocks.



Pretty crummy pic taken with my camera phone, but it gives an idea of the wheels. They are 15 x 7 Rota Torque's. The tires are 205/50/15 Falken Azenis RT-615.

This car is my daily driver and I autocross it for experience and fun. The last event I was in, I placed 11th out of 18 people on street tires, 18th out of 32 overall. I was pretty pleased, as I'm still pretty new to all of this. Next I'll add a rear-sway bar, which is pretty much the last link in my suspension for now. Eventually I may convert to a coilover setup.

i work on mine some but dont spend to much money on it.
i ran nitrous for abit on it but took it off.
these xb's and xa's handle real nice, way better then you would think.

i was amazed how much just the front strut bar helped!

Do they really work? I've always been kinda skeptical since the firewall is so close to the shock towers. I figured it wouldn't do very much.

Right now I just need to get rid of some of the body roll that I have. It's only when I'm really pushing the car in an autocross that I see/feel it. The rear sway should help take care of that.

I'd get a better sway bar if you wanna see great improvements on handling. I think that would have a bigger effect then a strut bar. Think about how much you're two strut towers move..

That's what I meant. I'm not really too worried about a strut bar right now.

I'd really like a Whiteline sway bar but they are all special order from Australia and would likely take month's to get here. A company called Progess Tech makes a nice 22mm peice though, stateside.

That looks really nice. I'm not normally a fan of VIP'd xA's but I like yours a lot. What size wheels are those?
