bad way the car would have no rear suspension the back end would fly out on corners and it would be bumpy as hell

You'll only see a benefit if you're aiming at a 10 second 1/4 mile in your 1.0

no you should take the springs out let the car sit on the dampers then let all the stuff out of the dampers then weld them shut should be nice and low and handle like a supercar

LOL!! What would you hoping to accomplish by doing this? I'm supposing you want a firmer setup "becuz thatz wat f1 carz use init". Obviously no - it isn't a good thing to weld the dampers, which I think you know anyway and are just being a prat.

If you don't understand that welding dampers is a bad thing, then I suggest you step away from the computer before the trail of dribble leaving the corner of your mouths pools on the keyboard circuit and creates an electrical surge... retard

just remove the dampers all together - will handle 100 times better but ride might be a bit bouncy + don't get airborne as the front springs might detach from the spring cups i JOKE !!

would fucking ruin the handling of a car!

Do some reading up on what dampers do and you'll realise how they alter the characteristics of a car :afro:

i do love this thread some odd questions are asked on saxp but this is the greatest. for the amount of money you will spend fixing all the things you break by doing it mate it would be cheaper to but some uprated shocks adjustable ones and tighten them up
