It handles well and ride height is simple to adjust, but it's very stiff, even on the softest setting.
If I had to do it over again, I'd see what the impact of the beefy torsion/sway bar alone would do to handling with new coils.

Thanks dave, now I REALLY have to go back to school so I can understand that :lol:
You've succeeded (sp?) in making me look like a moron (ok, i did most of the work) :lol:

Ok, let's work on an analogy....
Ever see a diving board (usually at the high school pool) that has a wheel ont he side for adjusting the position of the forward support? Move that support out toward the end of the board and it gets stiffer. Move it away from the end and the board flexes more. The ride height is just a preload. Like having a fat guy vs a skinny guy sitting on the end of the board. :yesnod:
