Given what I know about suspensions and what I hope to run in my own car I consider g/28's first suspension as on the lower end of the performance scale. That is just my own bias. In the real world (compared to what everyone has) it is in fact a performance suspension typical of what a VAST majority of people run on their car. Also, it was a huge performance gain over the stock stuff. So yes, to joe-public I would refer to it as a high-performance or performance-oriented suspension, but both of those terms are subjective.

Sorta like a 320hp crate motor.. to me it's a mediocer performance motor but if I was talking about it in the book in regards to someone swapping it into thier 250hp or such powered car I might refer to it as a High Performance upgrade. It's really all subjective except for the hard numbers.

Here I am speaking to most knowlegable people and I can inject my own biases. In the book I speak to a different crowd, many of which think a pro-street car is the ultimate in handling. lol

And your right Dennis, I only felt a bit dumber (that was a joke son..)

Actually I like critiques of my writing.. well, maybe like is the wrong word, but I certainly know that I have room for improvement so I appreciate feedback. Sorta took what you said as a comment towards my integrity and not my writing.

Anyways, not much more I can say on the matter.

Great point. You don't see any corners in the salt flats. Must be why they were used in that application.

It sure would be nice if some people that "think" they know it all,would cut the rest of us some slack. I guess that's too much to ask. :(

hahaha...ya I left fo the weekend and come back to the same ol' ****.....you must be a fast reader because it took me like 7 or 8 mins

Airbags aren't for everyone thats apparent....as are track only race cars or full on caged striped down street cars. I personally like my airbags the lower the better if I give up some handling I don't really care wont matter with the car going on and off the trailer :thumbsup:

Have to agree with travis I would give up some performance for The Bad A$$ stance...... Some times Air Bags dont look good if you dont set them right... I think the car looks best when the front is a little Bit lower than back so it has a nice "Rake"


Thats My o2
