Word. It's important for people to be honest with what they really want from the car. If they want to go really, really low, a dual height adjustable coilover is the easy way to do it. But if they value other things it may or may not be.

What they really (unrealistically) want is a car that has 2mm ground clearance, rides like a limo and handles like an F1 car.

Those adjustable rear toe links seem important. The factory upper links are pretty short and small adjustments could make a big difference to the handling.

The idea is used on a lot of cars though...BMW has been doing it for years.

Let's hear about your theories, Andy!

All this talk about bumpstops has piqued my interest in learning more.
