none of this is new, the same conversation has been taken place on all the boards where cars are predominantly MacStrut.


it's simply part of the balanced and economic system that car manufacturers decided to use. Our duty is to understand it and upgrade our properly knowing the dynamics and designs.
Well I guess I'm learning about it here, gotta start somewhere right? I've read elsewhere here about people feeling the transition when the "hit the bump stops", they say the car changes character pretty quickly - nose plows when front bump stops, rear destabilizes on rear bump stops. I guess it depends on what you do, maybe it's people installing lowering springs with stock bump stops? It's just clear to me that this topic probably needs a bit of a spotlight for the "lesser informed", at least on this forum. Up to this point I haven't read much at all regarding progressive rate bump stops - the general consensus was to cut them with lowering springs to make sure you stay off them. In context of this thread, that concept seems a little lacking.
