My setup is: 400 front on adjustable ride height kit, 30mm torsion bars, 968 M030 sways. Is a bit stiff for AX, is better on the big track - works okay, but would be a world better on a car with LSD - spend a bunch of time on 3 wheels... guess that's a good sign <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
Best/fastest autocross 8v na I drove was a 924S/SE with 300# fronts, 28mm T-bars, 26.8mm front sway, 19mm 968 M030 rear sway - but, it has the lightweight body and LSD and some very fresh tires... hard to beat that combo.

250 is okay, 200 is better.
