Jon, please know that I'm not looking for a street-fight, seriously. I'm not attacking your credibility, just the validity of using Chapman's theory on our cars. I still think that saying something a wee bit vague about what Colin Chapman said and implying that it's the case for our cars just wasn't proving anything to me. I was asking for some more clarification. I think if you'll re-read that section of my post you will see that I'm not attacking you anywhere, Jon.

I just felt that I was getting a ton of information about RS kit that I have read dozens of times before. I stated in previous posts what my gripes with the system was. But in the end, you all are right -- until I drive one of these cars, all I can do is gripe. I may end up liking the system a ton. If I do, I have a GTV-6 to put an RS or Beninca setup on. I've been carefully reading the other poster's input and weighing their arguments and some of them were convincing. I just had a few problems with some of the points in your one post.

Also, I've sated before that I'm just a college kid. The only info I have is what I've experienced in my own cars. (I know that when I lower and stiffen other cars, they grip really well. When I did the same on my Alfa the results were pretty dissapointing.) I'm just looking to see if my theory is a waste of time or not, and many have said it is. But as I said, I'm pretty far down the road and I think that this will be a good learning experience for me. I also want to be able to update this thread with that I find for future reference.

As far as driving is concerned, I do have some experience with my schools FSAE race car. I'm not 100% n00b either.

No hard feelings?
