Default Suspension tests in June '08 Sport Compact Car

I just picked up this magazine at lunch time, so I haven't even read it yet. They have a suspension test using "8 of the best brands from around the world" on an S2000 and an S2000CR.

a lot of people will say the tests they did were "questionable" as there were HUGE inconsistencies to make it a level playing field. my car was used as the stock baseline for this article at buttonwillow.

I think some of the cars were to heavily modded to be a fair test.
Especially the SPOON car.
Definitely a good test but the field was a little to uneven.


Anyways i think the TEIN was the best bang for the buck
