First I have to admit, I'm a rally n00b.

From what I understand, it's not how soft your suspension is, it's how much travel it's got that's important. That means you'll need long stroke, and enough ride height. If the softest setting on the AGX's will allow 'em to bottom out, then it's too soft. I chased a beat-ass volvo through the twisties at Rim of the World between stages a few years back, and I was astounded to see how flat that car cornered, considering it was an "off-road" vehicle.

Stock rims are probably better for rally, since you'll be able to have more sidewall on the tires. Lots of people will use snow tires for rally-x since they're the best non-rally specific tire for the job. High profile is your friend! I'm not sure how the 225 proxies factor into that theory though.

Where's JC when you need his opinion!?
