Which R-comps for Auto-X?

[kngrsll]

what exactly is your budget??

for ST competition- wheels, tires, shocks, springs, and a rear sway bar will be: $4-500 for 15x7's, 85x4 for street tires, 150 for a rear sway bar, 200 for springs, 350 for shocks and you can do fairly well in ST. thats under $1500.

for hoosiers and light weight wheels, you are looking at nearly the same! $500 for light cheap wheels and $800 for tires. for a little more, you can have the suspension mods and drive on your autox set up everyday (which is still more tame than alot of mid range sports cars)

im not trying to argue, just providing an alternative.

Good call. Who's offering $85 each for R-comps BTW? And $500 for wheels? Just saying I could always use a better deal. And my springs are already installed with sway bar next.

So far I've got my heart set on the lightest rims I could find (MSRP about $800/set, but will keep looking for better price) + tire budget (limit $800/set). Total of $1600 sounds about right, though it could be much lower depending on chosen tires and certain retailers. My local tire guy always gives me a good deal so I'll see if he's got what I want first.

If you have changed your springs your car is not legal for HS. A rear bar is also not legal for stock class.

making ST even more appealing ;)

you could get these if you still want RA-1's: http://www.good-win-racing.com/Mazda...t/21-0046.html

$900 for wheels, tires, mounted, and balanced? win

or put, street tires on them, use the rest of your budget at microimage on a rear sway bar and shocks and you are can run ST and do track days to your hearts content!

I see about the springs. I'm also running Falken ZE502's. Does this mean I can move up to ST? If not, then which class?

Man this is confusing...

Yes, you can run in ST.
