I'd just like to add I too would like to know more about dampners and springs work and how they work so well on BMW's. Anyway, my friends car just made my LX Civic seem like it handled like an F1 car.
-He drives a 2000 Toyota Corolla VE. It has 50,000 miles on it. I just installed an ebay strut bar on his car. The only other modification he had were 17" rims with low profile tires. I drove it after the instalation and I must say I can undestand how he felt when he said he felt an improvement.
-However his stock springs were very soft and his dmapners were even softer. His stock spring rates are around 150 lbs./in up front and 130 lbs./in in the rear. I was so amazed at how much sway and body roll he had, even after the instalation of the front upper strut bar. The worst I had ever experienced, I mean I had never driven a car with a softer suspension and one with so much body roll; made my car which has a stock suspension, upper strut bar rear Si sway bar and 18" tires feel like a race car.
-What is the worst handling car or what car do you think has the softest suspension and handles worst?
