BTW, I'm curious (in my entire life I have only ran a full set of foams, so far only *once* on my electric tourer. I didn't like the feel. I love to cut into corners very early ;-)) when the foam's diameter gets thinner and thinner won't this adversely affect the car's handling? Camber, droop, Rideheight all change, and if rideheight changes, camber-at-rideheight changes, the roll axis and CG will probably change; how do you guys compensate? Not to mention the need to change the gear ratio to match the new rollout, or do only pan cars do it not tourers?

Thanks.
