The swaybar was set way too stiff if that was Ripken.

That's very apparent.

The body roll is GONE.

And it only took how many extra thousands of dollars on top of the car's purchase price?

And did what to the ride?

If I had a mig welder, I could get rid of the body roll in my car, too...

From talking to him, he's been happier with the ride with each increase in spring rate.

Maybe we should bring a welder and some angle iron to the next autocross. That would firm the ride right up.

It seems like the universal opinion, both in print and on the web, that stiffer spring rates improve the car's ride a great deal. However, it could be argued that Nick is taking it a bit far....

I think he's at 800# now. Can't wait to take it for a spin. He won't be there tomorrow as he's off to do some circle jerking at SP this weekend.

800f/600r as of last weekend when I drove it. To call it firm is no understatement, but I believe the shocks were set to full stiff also which was certainly a contributing factor.

I need to go for a ride on the streetZzz to see how it feels.
