its quite easy for harder springs to overcome dampers, but not the other way round.

you'd get the whole car jacking itself up and down - very disconcerting.

I'll have a think of a suspension set to go with tyres that wide. The Holden has 265's on it, but they're far too wide really. It's very difficult to get a good "swing" going with it. That's kinda my best criteria for a fine-handling car, one where you get the feeling yo could drive it at speed cross-country for hours and hours.

The EVO has 225/245 combination on it and it's really onlyany good on the track as you have to use pretty much full-throttle everywhere to overcome the grip.

we're up for a Woody's weekend early in the spring - it'd give us a chance to compare some different spec cars.
Would it involve curry and beer? ;D
