i disagree anyone that truly builds up their engine will build up their suspension if they know anything about cars. you have to get all that power to the ground somehow.

I agree with that too but im not worried about weather or not i can take turns fast when i finish building my car i still want to be able to drive it on the street but i am not at all worried about being able to take turns on a track. I want my suspension to help with my launch not my turning

a suspension for turns is much diffrent than for straight line, turns you want to plant teh front straight you want the front a bit higher

Drag set ups and Road course set ups are way diffrent.... but both are about weight transfer..... and alot of cars can do both nowadays...

I'd rather take turns better, than go straight better. I see no thrill going in a straight line fast. It's the curves that make it interesting and fun.
