Anti sway bars front and back are a must for a car that plows like the Çobra on a AutoX course. Also, forget AutoXing the car if it doesn't have LSD. You'll probably be in with the Vette ZO6 and the Lotus Elise. They're tough to beat on short windy courses like an Autox.

First off, you should get the corner weights of the car fairly equal or close to from L to R. Tires are also pretty important in relation to suspension setup. Negative camber (up to 1.5 degrees) may be desireable, and 0 toe up front and 1/8 out in the rear.(this would be too darty on the street)
Drive the car and try different settings. Keep a log, and foremost, have lotsa fun.
