Re: Name in order the inferiority of factory suspension components vs. Banski type parts

Subject: Re: Name in order the inferiority of factory suspension components vs. Banski type parts

Right, the rubber is the cushion, not isolated to only Vettes, all oem cars I theorize.

the rubber does deform over time and I believe the car sits lower because of it.

My car sits higher and my driving it has worked out the kinks, but still sittin high, I now like the driving and riding sensation.

I feel the polys provide a slicker, truer action, whereas, the rubber is purely contorting itself withing the housings.

It's no heim joint, but somewhat similar albeit inferior action, the tense sensation is the dissimilar compliance from the rubber ( durometer?), in which I can live with, now that the suspension has worked itself out;

so to dissect the feeling, firm but with more ball bearing feeling, if that makes any sense, I am going to forgo any heim joint camber rods, as i think I have accomplished my "street" goals.

my flipping the steering wheel left to right at moderate speeds has always induces the pendulum unloading in the rear oscillating if you will like a motorcycle getting the wobbles, or tanks slappers as they call it.

I believe this annoyance, is the result worn FX3 shocks, i ordered Tokico Blues last night hope it helps to complete my street suspension.
