Hey guys could you get me in the ball park...

The car is a 75 Scirocco, with 16 valve engine.

Currently I am running 350/300 lb springs, BSI/Koni struts. No front swaybar, stock 16valve rear bar plus a BSI rear bar.

Seems a little soft.

I run mostly a mix of autocross and track days.

Thanks for your opinions.

I tried the search but it keeps coming up with nothing even though I remember talking about this a few months ago.

Not looking for any secrets just comments.

Mike.

You can also adjust the handling with tire pressures. What pressures are you using front vs. rear.

When I autocrossed my wabbit, I ran in H Stock back in 1996. Ran around 40 psi fronts, and 19-22 in the rear.

FWD in Solo II requires a totally different setup than you would do in a road race setup. I also was lifting in the corners to get the thing to rotate. You also jam on the pedals like a light switch.

I broke more hubs,bearings,trannies,CV's autoxing than road racing.

Well lets say this is stricty a road race set-up.

I hear you about the huge difference in how the car is used during road racing/autocross.
