The logic in this is that the set up change will give more steering at the beginning and the end of the run, then the less front sauce will take away a bit of steering, but only at the beginning of the run. so hopefully in the end you will have a car that steers the same at the begining as before but maintains the steering threw the run like it did not do before. If that makes sence, lol.



Hi, I cant say that i always prefer one over the other but i will say that for high bite carpet i will gravitate to linear springs and on low bite i suppose progressive. but that is a loose rule of thumb.
Ok thanks thats what i was thinking
