Ah, you mean things like suddenly having an Infinite Spring rate because your car is too low and you hit the bump stops? Stuff like that? hehe...

haha yah....very educational, thats why i posted it. hopefully it will educate everyone on the physics of altering the suspension if they haven't already known. and not do it just cuz it looks tight or because someone else does it.

i wanna lower the SHO so i can get some better handaling out of my 3600lb beast. squealing tires going on an onramp at 75 sucks, should be doing that at at least 85
