yeah, i didn't say it didn't have an effect...i said (at least i meant...hehe) that you'll have the greatest effect in that order. For instance...on a skidpad...going from stock hard tires to sticky tires will probably pick you up, say...something like 5 mph...going from stock springs to race springs aren't gonna be anywhere near that effective unless you have the tires first. you'd probably pick up 1 or 2 mph.

I do not think shorter stiffer springs have that much effect on body roll, which is what you're talking about. And i'm not a true believer that reducing body roll increases your cornering ability, but that's my opinion...i think it's just psychological because when i go around a corner, i want all my weight over the outside tires where it'll do the most good and if the center of gravity rolls over to that site a little, that's more weight on the outside tires.

No matter what we decide on the effectiveness of the other parts...i think you'd agree with me that they're nothing without tires...that was my point i was trying to make.

Was the comment about buying things cuz they're available directed at me or the original writer of this thread?

No offense meant on any of this and i welcome constructive criticism of my ideas
