Small B13 AutoX build
I have had my se-r for two months now. Two weeks ago I got my front end all wrecked... lucky for full coverage I got a fat paycheck. Now its time to upgrade all the suspension and other "needed" parts to make it track ready and also a reliable daily. Let me know you feedback, opinions and good places to get the parts I need.






Plans

-GSpec Oil relocation mount and adapters... will make my own custom lines and cooler
-KYB AGX Damper adjustable struts with my H&R springs that I already have
-Rear Lateral adjustable arms with pillow bushing mounts
-Front NX2k front brakes
-Upgraded sway bars... front and rear. Still looking for a quality brand
-Looking for a set of 15x8 0 offset rims

I'm looking to swoop it all up this week. Please post your own experience with quality parts.

15X8 0 offset just cant be pulled off nicely on the B13 chassis it just pokes out too much from the pics that I've seen on the forums so far.

Ditch the H&R springs. Go for Road magnets or Hyperco springs.

As Ulyses pointed out, ditch the H&R's and get some Road Magnet or Hyperco springs.

Rear lateral adjustable arms? Don't even know exactly what that is, nor why you need them for autocross. Whatever they are, they are not a necessary item.

Upgraded sway bars. Progress. You only need the rear sway bar. Set it on medium and leave the stock bar in the front. Upgrade the front sway bar bushings to urethane. All you will ever need in an autocross/daily driver.

Your single most important upgrade is kick ass tires. I would point you at Dunlop Star Specs.
