Re: high speed stability
I found a big differance with tire/wheel combo and how much extra crap
I have in the car. I've been using 195/50-15's for a long time. I
put some winter wheels on this year, 175/70-13's, and they feel a
little "greasey" at really high speeds. Also, with my car just about
empty of all the stuff I end up with in my car, it feels better at all
speeds. I think it's cause the ride is almost level then.

My current suspnsion setup is H&R soft sport spinrgs with boge

starting to feel some instability in the car. So since I plan on some major
engine work within the next year, I'd like to not splatter all my hardwork,
along with myself or any innocents into a wall/car/truck.
So what setup would work well for high speed, but still be fine for bumbling
around at low speed and not jarring the fillings out of my passengers teeth
(I don't have any fillings). Also since I'm in Ga, I have to be able to hit
and clear speed bumps and steel plates that cover potholes. I could stand
to have the car a tad lower then where it is now, but much lower and my fat
ass is gonna need a crane to get me outta the damn thing. An yes, loosing
wait is a great idea I know, I've already lost 45lbs and I'm working on
another 45lbs. So hit me with any ideas or thoughts.
