Default gotcha. i agree with s4mig, try the valving change first then go onto springs. Ryan is your best

source of answers to these questions, though.

Default You need stickier or wider tires, or better driving skills then...

...with a very similar STaSIS suspension, I can't imagine the degree of recklessness I would have to be exhibiting on the street to need to take corners faster than I can right now.

Yea, downtime would be bad if you had to have the car. Never saved the stock suspension?

Default Did he say the valving change would be noticeable to achive what you want?

I'd think it'd be almost better to have semi-soft valving on stiffer springs but it would probably have the tendency to "bounce" Give Ryan another buzz.

Default i think i will *always* want to take corners faster than whatever i have at a certain time...

i just simply want to get the max out of my stasis as possible. driving skills can always improve. i do that as much as i can.

Default we'll see. maybe i wasn't clear with him.

in any case, after i get my package, i'll have them installed and ask him about some damping advice. thanks, though.

oh, and just in case, i just revised my order to 600/700.

Default shucks... =/

well, then again, ride quality is a very vague term. i love firm riding cars. i don't mind feeling bumps as long as they are not felt constantly and they are "muted." i hate floaty rides... i hate bouncy rides... firm but smooth. that's basically what i'm looking for.

when i went from my ghey h&r/konis to tracksports, the spring rates jumped up but the car ran sooo much smoother. obviously, that's because of the valving, right? i guess i'm looking at another jump in spring rates but was curious if to better "control" the higher spring rate, if going to sport valving would be more beneficial.
