Start where the rubber meets the road. "it's where the rubber meets the road" is an old line form a 1960's tire commercial. Still true.
In order of priority;
1. Tires - Many will agree, the RSA's need to eat asphalt preferably in a large open area or
SOLD to a Ricer,
2. Probeam,
3. Tower brace & Backbone.
When the midship flex is taken out, there will be added effects and compounding of existing unfelt effects to the front suspension & tower that should be addressed when stiffening of the mid frame structure from the DDM Backbone.
Each, 2 dramaticly & 3, will have its own effect on handling and ride.
Personally, I think the ride improves due to rapid recovery from bumps but some may not like that and equate it with rough ride as there is more feel to the road surface and road imperfections.
When all is said and done IMHO,
CAR will handle like
CAR was intended to handle but does not from the factory because of GM keeping production costs down while at the same time providing a time proven design for us to easily modify and inexpensively make better like some of us did when teenies.
For those who ask why mod,
CAR the next best bet is the new Nissan 370Z with a tower brace that twists but supposedly comes back to original shape
or a Porsche at $170K that is a performance car only in the eyes of Motor Trend or Rode along and got Tracks in my drawers
Keep these things in mind.
Just got off the phone & DDM is busy getting ready for Texas, so I don't know if the next round of DDM prototype IC charge pipe and re-
TUNE will happen this Thursday or not.
You may want to hold off on a tune, and do the 1,2,3 I mention above.
There is more, see title,
