I autocrossed my CS when I first got it 10+ years ago and it was totally stock, just to learn a bit about the car. The things that struck me the most were (1) the stock downpipe was strangling performance and (2) the bodyroll was huge (I expected this), but grip was good. On 195/65/15 Michelin Pilots that the car came with, I ran 45 lbs in front, and, IIRC, 38 in the rear, so your guess of 42 in front and 36 in the rear seems about right. One question - you have 205/55/16's, not 205/60/16's, right? Where/when are you thinking of going? When you drove my car at the SOC a few years ago, it did not yet have the SAS bars, which you did have then. I've since added the SAS bars to mine, but the suspension still seems softer and has more roll from what I remember of yours. Of course, we were driving on the table smooth roads around Devens that day. My Sportchassi has 80k on it now and still is doing well, but I'm thinking I may replace the Sachs dampers with Konis when it gets to 100k. In the interest of civility, I'll probably keep the SAAB springs, though I've read claims that the Abbott springs ride very well.
