Traditionally as within the last 10 years or traditionally within the last
30 years? ;-)

Bullshit!

I think trailer queen autocross cars are the silliest things I've ever
heard of.  Furthermore, people who go out and buy a Swift DB1 (Formula
Ford) for autocross are nuts.  Go racing if you can buy one for crying out
loud!

That is exactly the sort of class I was addressing.  If I was serious about
autocross (OK, not trailer queen wacko serious), I'd have a spare set of
rear struts all set up and swap them out for the event.  That's about an
extra half hour (over swapping tires) if you haven't had your morning
caffeine yet.  Swapping in a stiffer rear swaybar wouldn't take long either
if everything is set up well.

Then your first step in suspension mods should be front and rear STB.  That
should always be the first suspension mod where you cannot use a welded
cage to stiffen the chassis.
