No you read what you've written jr, you've put "have fucking spider sense to sense its 3/10th quicker FFS" which implies you won't notice it which is the point i am trying to make.

then read the next bit
"weather you notice its quicker is a whole diffrent matter"
some people will, some wont, depends how you drive the car, if its on the limit, what car it is

Why? It's not a race car, how often do you pull away like your at santa pod? I'd prefer to have good sounding music and be comfortable then it being a bit quicker and scary handling! Just imo though

Your springs won't help Stavs, with them being that short, it'll have wierd feelings to it.

This subject is one of those love/hate ones. Like with many things from weight loss to tuning and styling many people start it off, but dont look at the bigger picture and go full circle with their intentions to maximise the whole package around one individual major change
That isnt in any way a disrespectful comment, but its just the way things are as some people just require an empty road car to be happy, where as someone else would deem it a pod car and another with a cage only would class it as a track car. getting a fine balance never happens.
Weightloss from a car makes a massive difference, my qtr miles times proved this a few years back and to an extent still do considering my power output is quite low. But following loss should come distribution and can go all the way until it gets anal with spring poundages and coilovers etc etc etc. but by that stage you really have to know how you like a car and have a certain amount of savvy regards setting it up to suit your own needs.
Unsure if any of that makes any sense as i just typed it without thinking, but i know what i meant

They are in a cutom box, 2 are passive, 1 is powered, and the RRP would of been around £450, i got it for £150, long story, i will explain if you want me to! Basically i am very good friends with an ICE shop!
