Yes i'm definitely missing some tact, and suspension geometry knowledge. (Sorry)
I do have a flat brim hat and ... oh wait ..
but ya, i've seen what works with cheap bolt ons, and what hasn't been working. and i guess there's more to the puzzle too. older gen cars were lighter which makes it easier to not break stuff with just replacing a coilover. where as the newer ones are heavier, slap in a new coil over (or spring + damper) and stuff seems to break more often.
maybe we can all agree we want it to be lighter (no matter what we want to use the car for) ?
also what just occurred to me is how people like me, Need people like LabMonkey (Who actually know a lot about suspension design) . and how people like him need people like me (who break anything remotely close to stock, demand better stuff and need someone to step in and design said suspension)
hi chicken meet egg? (there's a joke in there somewhere)
