I like it!.  Generally, we made a lot of assumptions when doing one thing. Optimization for racing is different from street driving depending on the person's preference. Yeah, if you give race drivers a choice, they would replace the shocks with a solid rod with no suspension at all  and let the tires do all the work!. Thats, what I was told by a Formula 3 driver. Super stiff suspension that had almost no travel. The amount of shake is just increadible so it was very very tiring to do 10 laps!.All things being equal, assuming the suspension components and tires are not the weak point but the chassis is, then, its better handling for sure.  Every new model , we hear from manufacturers 30% or 45% stiffer chassis. Must be good right ?. Mostly so,  but a lot of the time the dependent suspension parts and tires themselves changed to accomodate the additional load taken by the chassis.</blockquote>
