Red LGT with Black wheels heading South on 100 around 12:20 in Edina, MN

We waved. I was in the older blue LGT sedan. Go Subie Love!!!

Just wondering what all you need to auto cross?

Like helmet, stock seatbelts ok, and things along those lines?

Sorry never autcrossed just got my leggy a year ago and interested in doing some.

Springs determine the car's ride height, so changing to different springs can give a lowered ride height. Reduced ride height lowers the car's center of gravity some, which can increase cornering grip. It also reduces suspension travel, though, so the car may be less able to handle large bumps without bottoming out the suspension. Of course, there are the everyday issues of ground clearance to consider; stock cars don't scrape their chins on those concrete stopers in parking lots.

Sorry kind of a n00b question, but does lowering the car affect the size of the wheel/combo.

The reason I ask is because I had rubbing issues in the rear of my 97 LGT. The rear tires would rub on the bottom of the spring/strut assembly. I should note that my stock tire size is 205/55/16 and the rubbing occured with a 205/50/17, but I now have 205/45/17 and they are running fine on stock suspension set up.
