I've never really driven a sports car so I'm not sure what I'd be losing in stiffness with different shocks. There are quite a few posts that some of these shocks give a smoother ride but you loose the sporty handling. I think i've ruined this by putting on Mickey Thompsons. I swear these tires are going to be this Vx's downfall. I love teh look but I think my tires are insane. They are like Calvin's bicycle (for those who read the strip). That is another project i am considering. I'd like to get some road stability back. I like the hugeness of the tire but i think i'd like to find if there is a VX sized version of a tire you'd see on a porche type car. The really wide ones. Or is all this tire trouble really the shocks?
