Re: Auto Cross 1g Setup

In my opinion you're putting too much thought into it if you just want to go have fun and learn to drive better. Do that first, go out, do a couple events, see what the car lacks or where it needs improvement and go from there. Until you're serious about being competitive then do whatever your heart desires, and I seriously mean it.

From your list, here is what I would do:
Evo 3 16G
Suspension is good, maybe consider a bigger rear sway bar
Whatever wheels are fine, for tires you'll be best off with something like Dunlop Z1 Star Spec, Kumho Ecsta XS or Hankook Ventus RS3, Sumitomo HTR ZIII are great as well
Your brakes are fine, but consider getting some better pads like EBC Green or Hawk HPS

Again, you need to first be concerned about having a solid car before you begin thinking about how competitive you will be. Get a few events under your belt and then see where you want to go with it.
