Ive got a rough idea!
I want my car for fast road, and hopefully the odd track day, but we'll see!
as far as i see it, suspension settings (like a tuned motor) will always be a compromise depending on what you want from the vehicle!! Race track and public highway are a world apart for very obvious reasons.. hence adjustable suspension options....
A car (or bike for that reason) set up for track work can and will handle very poorly on the road... Same as if you set an engine up to make big h.p up top end, this may be fine for circuits with very few bends or open highway, but absiloutly naff for small twisty tracks or town driving!
As you say, when diciding how far to go with a vehicle you really need to know what that vehicle is going to spend most of its time doing!
I will appologise now if my thoughts and views upset anyone?!
