Good read on Autocrossing. Covers driving techniques, car setup, etc.

Heh, apparently an update of my old favorite...the not "Almost Certainly Crap" shock absorber list. See Buying Shocks

yeah, that's where i started, after following marc's link in another thread, and just kept reading. thought i would share, in case other's didnt click beyond the original page.

I try to read this once a season.

BTW data logging with an iPhone is not very accurate.

That's why I got the Race Technology DL1 Data Logger and Video4 system. It's pretty amazing and I'm just learning how to use it, there is a boat load of features in the analysis softwear. So far I've been using the DL1 by itself so I still need to wire in all the inputs, install the dash2 and the camera's should finally ship next week. Should be sweet, dialing the car in with data is key.

neat link.
Chrysler used some of the stuff listed.
Koni "Yellow" Adjustable came on 97-99 Neon ACR's, but painted black, adjuster knob came in a plastic bag in the glovebox when the car was purchased new.
they used Dynamic Suspension double-adjustable, inverted struts on the 01-02 Neon ACR's.
basically a $3000 set of struts on a $15k car.
also used Dynamic dampers on the older Viper ACR and GTS-R

the new SRT-10 Vipers use KW suspension parts, also pretty nice stuff from what i've gathered.

No doubt the work of a few engineering gearheads who didn't inform the penny pinchers what was going on, haha.
