Nizam,
I'd like something that's adjustable...I can make it nuetral at speed for stability out on the track, or something that will rotate easily for autoX and daily driving.
I'm mainly trying to figure out if drop spindles work or not. I have this theory in my head that seems right to me, but Louis is telling me D-spindles don't do that much. If I can get more people to affirm this, then I won't bother plunking down the money to get some. But ultimately, it bothers me that my suspension geometry is so screwed up when the car is down low, the way I like it. Alfas to me are about finesse and using super high spring rates to cover up the poor geometry doesn't seem very appealing. Plus, the car just doesn't grip as hard as I think it should. I'm also trying to learn from this experience. Just buying a complete package, while much easier and cheaper, will most likely give me something that's really great out of the box, I want to figure out how suspension dynamics work.
So how about you Nizam, have you had an opportunity to drive the car with or without the d-spindles? Do you think they do much?
And does anyone know how the RS system make a car tail happy? Are the spring rates really stiff in the rear or something? Do I just need to increase my rear spring rates to something much higher?
O yeah, one other thing. I don't want oversteer because I "drift" or whatever. I have an entire different car to subject to that kind of abuse, I just want my Alfa to suit my driving style (tail happy when I want it to be).
Thanks all for the info and advice so far!
