What car handling effect do I get if I increase rear downstop from 7 on my hudy block ( 7 is rx8 standard downstop from the manual ) to 9 ?
Any other suggestions ? I'm looking rear car to rotate easier without losing grip while cornering.
Thanks for tips.

One thing to pay attention to: You can only go higher with the downstop number if you do not compress your spring at normal ride height.
My standard procedure: I set ride height. I take the smallest tires I need to run in the main event (e.g. 61 front 68 rear) and check that there is still reasonable ride height (e.g. 4mm front, 4.5mm rear). Then I increase the rear arm height (higher downstop number) just a tad below the point where I would compress the spring. Now thats the maximum for me. It gives minimum upward travel of the rear under braking and a responsive rear end. With full size tires the ride height will increase to 9 / 9.5mm or so...

It is an easy build, just like my 2011/2012.
