Default Another Stasis suspension question...... for those of you that bought streetsports...

do you have buyers remorse that you didn't go with Tracksports or are you satisfied with the Streetsport performance?

Default How could I remorse? I never drove a car that had them, although I'm sure I would have.

To be honest the car can get a bit bouncy at high speeds(80+Mph) and you hit a bump. For regular street use they are perfect.

Default how can you have buyer's remorse for getting something half the cost of the other? Yes, I'd like

Track Sports but I didn't (and don't) have the money for them. So on those lines, I wish I got Motorsports

As far as Street Sports vs. stock, yes I'm very happy. Stock sucks. I still want Track Sports but it's not going to happen soon.

Are you planning on adjusting to get the bounce out?

Default Adjusting? I set the ride height to specs from STaSIS and they set the dampening -

so I'm not sure what else to do. It could be the 2 12" Subs along with the spare in the trunk that gives it the bounce.

Default They need adjusting...

If the car gets squirrelly at high speeds, the balance between front and rear rebound probably isn't quite right.

Love mine, but sometimes wonder what Tracksports would be like.

Default at least according to their site the rebound can still be adjusted but only when off the car...

thats what's nice about tracksports they can be adjusted on the car...

Default Argh, but how can I tell how much rebound is in the shock? I would have to send it to them or take -

it to a specialist with the proper measuring tool. Yeah, track sports are nice :-(
