I was driving in another country the other week that has a lot of small edges and small fast undulations, and the ride was awful. Happily I don't drive their often, before I had driven there, I wouldn't have known. It depends, you see?
If Ubersuber had a solution to his subjective problem, fine. That is interesting even if I don't experience the problem to the same degree.
As in the explaining suspension, we're here to discuss and learn , and perhaps some again express themselves a bit overly confident  , but then again, it doesn't mean it has no value. If instead of trying to understand what is meant one goes and try to find error, that isn't helping the thread either...
If someone is more knowledgeable and now understand various psychological effects and how these impede communication, perhaps they can also be understanding and pedagogic? |
Look for posts by a banned user with the name Suberman, same guy as Ubersuber. I'm not patient with him because we've been through his nonsense before.
The real issue with his suggestions is that he makes claims that contradict everyone else in the automotive world (and physics) with no evidence and expects everyone to just accept him as an encyclopedia of knowledge.
He claims that the rear shocks were underdamped and by putting bilsteins (which have stiffer damping) the handling over bumps was vastly improved and it's lees likely to oversteer. Two big issues there: 1) people that have actually done the testing found that the stock shocks are actually overdamped and 2) increasing rear damping (compression or rebound) makes the car more likely to oversteer.
His complaint about the rear feeling loose over bumps is most likely to be because the rebound is too stiff stock and the wheels can't droop fast enough to stay on the road. I've felt that with stock springs, but with the springs I have now it's not an issue.
