I had a little experiment that showed the value of proper suspension frequencies today. California roads are rougher than most dirt roads. I had my suspension set at full soft in the front and full stiff in the rear. On the rare smooth road, the car handled great. It had lots of stick and ok rotation. However, when the road got a little rough, the car just couldn’t stick. It would just bounce around all over the place and was really scary at *cough cough 125 cough*. So, I’m driving on the freeway today, and I realize that the back end of the car is, or feels like its coming off the ground. Sooooo, I thought back to the things that Revy taught me and came to the conclusion that I need to soften the rear end up to make for a better street car. So, before I got back on the road, I set the rear to full soft and took a couple of well known turns and one on ramp. Low and behold, the car handled better that it ever has on those roads. There was a little less rotation, but a lot more stick. It made the car a lot more fun to drive on the streets.
