I went with revalved Koni yellows, converted to double adjustable. Haven't installed them yet.. 800/650 springs. There are lots of affordable options that will be better than the d2s though, bilstein PSS, or koni yellows off-the-shelf being two options. For wheels I'm going with the TRMotorsports C3s (17x9). They come with s2000 offsets and apparently don't rub (too bad).

Ian, I'm in Durham. I Autocross regularly with the Tarheel Sports Car Club (thscc.com). I think our first event is March 18th in Danville, VA.

The Triad Sports Car Club is also hosting an Evolution School (Phase 1) on April 1st that I plan on attending.

You should definitely give it a try, it's a blast.

i just installed kwv3s and OMG huge difference in driving!! i was on freshish oe suspension (60kish) and man is there a difference. i also have a saner front bar and trm c3 17x9 with 255 square rs3's. ran all of last year with NCR completely underpreped for STR (only had tires on narrower wheels). haven't autoxed it since install(is kinda the winter season) but i know that it'll be a marked improvement. im sure you guys are far away but we have a HUGE AWESOME sight that we ran 3 times last year and hope to get another three this year is on the flightline at cherry point mcas. huge space, nice pavement and usually a FAST FAST course. look into coming over and running with us!!

I'm looking forward to Cherry Point's autocross this year if they have one. I watched last years and it looked fun. Saw very few S2000's

Hey All,

I'm in Cary and have attended most Triad SCC auto-xs for about 20 yrs. Danville is the best event for Triad SCC. Their 2 day auto-x school is well worth the money. I'll also be working at NASA's Feb track day at CMP. I plan on driving the May and Nov. NASA events at CMP. See y'all there.

OP, you should update the first post with a list of organizations and events to participate in along with the ones you are going to attend.
