Default A Shock Idea...

There was a post just a short while ago about putting Z51 shocks on a base suspension C4. I am assuming that going with that setup will stiffen up the suspension, but then make the ride suffer. Has anyone ever considered going with Z51 shocks up front and base shocks in the rear? I am just curious as to what the overall result might be...

Never considered it, but I'd guess stiffening up the front more would give you more understeer. My car already pushes a bit in the corners, so wouldn't want to make it worse.

Hopefully some AutoX'ers will chime in, I know some cars react to suspension changes in non-expected ways
