RE: Srt-4 - 12/10/2006 6:07:11 PM    matts   Posts: 43 Joined: 12/7/2006 Status: offline well i'm not a suspension expert, but here's my thinking. if the springs are harder it's going to keep the cars weight from shifting to the rear on take off. less weight taken off the front wheels it looks like it would make the car hook better. now if it were a RWD car then yeah, weight shifting might be a good thing. but again, suspensions are kind of a mystery to me. i know some basic things, but enough to be dangerous (in reply to 2000LS) Post #: 30
