Yeah, well, me too. It's been set on full soft with progressivly more rear springs. I'm about to go softer in front.....T-barswise. I'm up to 300# in the rear (no sway bar in back) and I still have to work to make it oversteer. This costs me time as I don't always do it right. I am not going stiffer in the rear. If I can't find some softer T-bars, I'll have the 22mms ground down. With the rear bar, you prolly will be able to get away with less stiff springs that mine...but what do you do when the rear tire lifts....and you WILL reach that point. LSD? |
