So, I don't have my comupter with me this week but, here goes:

75evo,

I thought coil diameter changes as well as the spacing of the gap between coils had to do with linear/non-linear. I'm wrong though

Monty,

My intention is to try to dial in my suspension before I go killing expensive tires with excessive understeer/oversteer. Then I'll be able to afford used Hoosiers or something

What's so funny about the Chapman references?

@Louis - I think the way a car will handle at the limit will be roughly the same whether you have cheap or expensive tires. I know steering response won't be as good with the cheapies, but I don't think and understeering car will turn into an oversteering car with a trip to the tire store. Eagle F1's are baller!

And, I think Louis' spring rates were too much for the dampers. Felt a bit underdamped from the short ride I got. Maybe with softer springs they'll be just right? What do you think Louis?
