Default Handling questions

Hi, I'm sure this has been talked about much, but I could use some advice. 2001 Z, Koni sports, stock springs, aggressive alignment, stock bars. Aside from tires, what is the best investment for some better handling. I would like to get the car to turn in a bit harder without the gas pedal. I mostly autocross. I have the shocks set fairly soft. I'm not sure what kind of bias to run with these, ie soft rear/firm front or firm/ firm. Is there a good book or site devoted to setting up these cars. Thanks in advance...

I was hoping to see you on Sunday...it was ugly but fun. When is a good time to pick your brain? I overheard someone there say " That guy must have watched Danny Popp drive before, cause his car has been sideways all day!"

It all depends on what you mean by handling. Here are the five basics.

If you want to win you're going to have get some Hoosiers. It's a long slippery, and expensive, slope.
