I don't know about suspension but the RE71 is *the* hot tire to have for autocross these days for street classes that require a 200tw tire. If you are like me, and doing it for fun and learning, tire rack is blowing out the Gen 1 BFG Rival (not the "S" which another top autocross tire) in 225/45/17 and 255/40/17. I personally like the Hankook R-S3, it is good for autocross too but better for longer lapping sessions.

The RE71 and Rival S get up to heat quickly and so are good for short autocross runs but they wear very quickly. But if you are changing tires for the event and not daily driving, they would be perfect for that.

Good luck and let us know how you do!
