[QUOTE="DingChavez, post: 103357, member: 791"] not that simple..... by doing what you suggest, it will only make the car ride worse ie harder suspension but it does not improve handling. the only thing you WILL notice is a sore bum and an aching back.... in fact it worsens handling as now if going thru bumpy roads the tyres wont be in contact with the ground. also when you put rock hard suspension, you will stress the chassis and create more flex, in turn would negate your suspension setting and upset your suspension geometry. in fact lowering the springs only will actually make the roll center higher thus more roll, to counteract this thicker anti roll bars and springs needs to be used, hence extra stress on the chassis as with the Gti and r3, the chassis is also streghthened to take on the harder suspension and to reduce flex, which in turn, will make the suspension geometry stay and the suspension worked in the optimum setting (as per design). do improve handling is not simple. it's not only low profile tryres, lowered spring and hard dampers... to think that way means you do not know what you are talking about..... my 2 kupang dan kerang [/QUOTE]
