Default What LCA for Auto X?

What should I look for in a LCA for auto X? What brands have proven them self at the auto X scene? Which one will give me a bit of both worlds drag and auto X? I dont care about noise. I would really appreciate the comments.

Why would you want to swap them if you're interested in autocross? LCA's will bump you out of the ESP class.

I have to run a 1/4" spacer up front and had to grind off a raised portion of the spindle that looked like some casting relief. It was not structural.

And I had to roll the fenders in the rear ... not because they rubbed, but it was too close for me to be comfortable with.

Here's some pics ...

Thanks ... appreciate it ...

I'm running 315 Nitto DRs. I had it very neutral with 275 Nitto R2s. I ran a couple of 60% sessions to shake it down and car seemd to pick up a bad push.

However, Nittos tend to be kind of greasy until a few heat cycles are put on them.

Going to Texas World Speedway this weekend. So, we'll see.
