OK guys lets pool together some knowledge on the GTI in stock class. I know tons of people have their car way over prepped for such a class but some of us do like the idea of trouncing people in a stock car.
My Previous car and setup
2009 Civic SI sedan
245/45/17 Star specs stock wheels
245/45/17 Hoosier a6/ TDR racing wheels 17x7
k&n drop in
HFP shocks
this set up alone was enough for me to win almost every local event in my area ( NC autox championships got me 3rd.....)
Now the GTI can be very capable of doing well in stock class in local and regional regions but its does have tough competition ( Civic Si, SRT4, and if the mini is being moved up from HS)
Current set up (STOCK)
PLANS
-2009 GTi
-245/40/17 Hoosier a6 or Kuhmo V710(they last longer) Rcomps
-Possibly 245/40/17 star specs to run in the new national street tire class
-Big front sway ( the car rotates just fine it needs to keep flat have more contact to the road during turn in and its steering ratio isnt as quick or doesnt feel as a good as the others)
-koni yellows ( obviously... this car is pretty well set up from the factory but lets face it the stock dampening rates are pretty soft and lateral transition is key in autox)
So chime in fellow stock classers!:bow:
