Part of why people get upset with you is things like this. The "you're all idiots, only me and Subaru are doing it right" thing. No one likes that and it is not true. There is some crap on here, but there also some very intelligent people who race and win. Or people who just build really nice fun street cars (which isn't always easy either).

I agree with some of your suggestions. I disagree with some of your suggestions. I don't think you're an idiot (maybe a little stubborn like most people).

Having a reasonable discussion shouldn't be this hard. Just say that you like your car set up with X instead of Y. Maybe you tried Y and it didn't fit your needs. Try to keep in mind your preferences and situation are not exactly the same as everyone else's.

And if a person gets 1 thing wrong it doesn't necessarily invalidate everything they've ever said. But if literally everyone is telling you to rethink something, it might be time to at least listen and consider the alternative.

I'm still learning things all the time about building suspensions (and communicating with people). Some of things I've seen in the last 2 years would have blown me away 10 years ago. Anyone want to see a shock dyno of the Ohlins on a FIA GT3 championship winning racecar? Guarantee you'll be scratching your heads. That might be for another thread though.

Anyway, I try to stay out of bitchfests as much as possible. So I'm going to go drink a beer and play outside. Have fun everyone!
