I'm gonna have to some what disagree with you on that one. To stiff and the car won't roll enough to transfer enough weight to the outside tires in a corner to create enough grip. To soft and there will be to much weight transfer causing the car to over whelm the outside tires causing oversteer or understeer. Race cars are very stiff. Their suspensions have just enough body roll to load the outside tires properly. A stiffer suspension forces you to carry more corner speed in order to create enought g forces to create enough body roll to load up the outside tires. Thats how you go faster with a stiffer suspension. But, like i said earlier there is a too stiff but going soft is not going to make a car handle better.
