Has anyone seen or posted any data pertaining to performance gains from modded suspensions on an xb?
Such as before and after, slalom times or track time, etc. I would really like to see what improvements it makes other than " it feels better in a corner"

 

I have never seen any statistics. I will just tell you that after I dropped on Tein Stechs and put in a Hotchkis front sway bar "it feels better in a corner." Sorry.........

 

when you lower a car's CG and improve it's dynamic camber response by adding static negative and stiffening up the mac-strut suspension... you WILL see gains when done correctly.

However... 95% of people that mess with their suspensions on this site make it worse by over-lowering it and useing stock or soft dampers so that the car bottoms.

You want something mild in terms of a drop, but stiffer rates... and then sticky tires.... you CAN make these little cars handle if done RIGHT!

 

done the lowering and mod things ,mboth right and wrong before, just wanting to see real numbers, wondering if modding the box susp would make a useful track car, say maybe find someone to sponser a 1.5 liter or under class.

pipe dream I know but hell, there are more and more small cars on the road, might be interesting
