The suspension engineers from Dick Guldstrand on have taken the stock sub and gone as far as they can. The vendors each have their version of what works best. Many won't agree w me, but I think in our segment, Corvette geo gets copied most. This gets you to a wider tire and a better camber curve aka contact patch. I'm no engineer, but I don't think that's gonna happen w the stock sub. You also have not yet experimented w a true coil over set up w your favorite shock angle/spring rate/sway bar. All this needs to be dialed in.
There's alot smarter guys on here than me, I'm just just spitballin'...

Ron, you are absolutely right, its all about Balance, knowing where you are when you start and where things go when you make a change. But the number one in my belief system is driver confidence and comfort with his/her vehicle.
