Once again, please point to where I even remotely hinted that your car was not extremely well setup?
Again, are you reading some other thread? That was NEVER even remotely a point of discussion.
My comments regarding my experience were an attempt to get you to stop making posts like you're talking to some newb, telling me to find a shop and read up on how suspension works. Carroll Smith was my college spirit guide.

No one claimed to be an expert. Not once. That being said...
Once again, if you don't know that stiffer compression can reduce compression stroke length in transient and high-speed events (i.e. impacts), than you plain and simply don't know what you're talking about. Steady state cornering? Of course not.
Will it be enough? We'll see.
There's nothing at all wrong with starting a thread to try and get some open dialog going between the guys actually running these parts.
