Stiffening, my friend, is not always the answer (sometimes it is, but not always)... There is a finely tuned balance between the components of the chassis that shifts the weight to the right places at the right time. My friend is finding out the hard way with his 240SX that he spent a lot of money on a turbo and complete coilovers and the bottom line is he doesn't the rubber to make it work. He is running Goodyear F1's but they just don't have the traction needed to really take advantage of what he did with his car. I personally believe he needs some wide competition tires, possibly slicks, to make this thing kick some arse!
I am also looking to improve the handling performance of my car for autocrosses, but I am going to begin with wheels/race tires and strut braces and then go from there.
I'm sure a few people will hop on and tell you to get more experience first seeing that you've only done 4 autocrosses.
