JJ, are those kg/cm numbers? And do you know the motion ratio of the GTV6? I've got some numbers I'm working with and I want to be able to develop wheel rate numbers for the available RSR spring rates. Thanks!

Still JJ, doesn't that route us right back to the concept, that was being heavily discussed on alfagtv6.com/bb, that you could achieve the same roll stiffness with less wheel rate (less spring and roll bar) by having the geometry of a lowered GTV6 or Milano itself oriented so as to discourage roll? The RSR kit seems to do an excellent job of eliminating roll through increased spring rates and a massive 30mm anti-roll bar thus these issues still exist in the suspension but are supressed...right? Why not address the issues with the drop spindle and then select spring rates and anti-roll bar thicknesses?

Hopefully that makes sense, I'm just learning...
