Can't answer the question unless we know what colour toilet paper you use?

I was gonna say, your suspension won't give a f*ck about what headstuds you use, or that you have Type R sideskirts. What's the point of all that?What you should've included, but didn't:-Type of car -Purpose of modification (track use, street use, etc.)Beyond that, none of that crap matters.

Well purchase some wrenches and tighten their fasteners!

If you can’t be bothered to eliminate the personal advertisement in your posts what makes you think we could be bothered to answer your question?

your a ****ing idiot. the meaning of "tight" i was shooting for was the dampning force and the spring rate just are not enough for the type of driving i would like to do the s tech's for my understanding are more for a styling and are not a performance spring. but **** it i guess i am just a ****ing moron for even thinking this site would give any insight thanks.

This IS the RR/AX forum. If you can't take the heat, GTFO. Feel free to ask your question elsewhere if you don't like the attitude, as we don't take to spoonfeeding well.

OP, all smartassness aside, you still haven't said what kind of driving you'll be doing with the car, OR what kind of car it is. I seriously don't know wtf "tight handling" means. Is that stiff?

You say a track car with occasional weekend cruising. Which one do you do more? When you say "track car" is that autox, open track, plans to race competitively, etc. The super-stiff ideal track/race rates SERIOUSLY suck on the street. It makes street driving not fun. Just one of many reasons we need more information if you want a serious answer.

Legitimately, the suspension forum is mostly garbage. It would probably suit this guy's needs though.
