Doesn't that depend on the force on the skateboard? In any case, prove it. Show us unknowledgable people the testing done to prove this hypothesis. First hand test data
please. SHOW US YOUR TEST DATA USING YOUR EXAMPLE OF STOCK
SPRINGS, STOCK SHOCKS AND A LOWERED RIDE HEIGHT. IF YOU CAN'T THEN YOU SHOULD SHUT UP

It is called PHYSICS. It is the way the universe works. I don't have to prove it because it was proved a long, long time ago.

People like UL who obviously has a background in physics and engineering can explain it to you far better than I can but it is really ALMOST LIKE MAGIC because someone good with it can PREDICT WHAT WILL HAPPEN just by using MATH.

Give it up GTR you are acting badly.

In other words this guy can't prove a damn thing. Nothing like reading from a text book without any real world knowledge. Business as usual in Bieg's world. Everyone else here has to prove their points to him because he always insists upon it- but turnabout isn't fair play in HIS world.

And I repeat, THERE HAS YET TO BE REAL WORLD EVIDENCE PRODUCED BY BIEG THAT PROVES BIEG'S THEORY. Uh oh- look out- someone's going to go report me!

Stop hiding behind that computer and do some testing.

If the roll centre of your car is 1 inch above the wheel hubs then lowering the car 1 inch is a difference of infinity percent. On the other hand you might not like that difference

If the roll centre is 20 inches above the hubs you'll only make a 5% difference (but it's the same absolute change in torque about the roll axis). Where's the roll centre on an S2000? I don't know, but I guess it's pretty low. Since it's so low already I don't think it's causing any problems that need to be addressed by lowering further.

Obviously, the thread is going no where. Would you guys please cool it? It seems like everytime the topic of stock vs mod has been brought up, things are getting cynical and unconstructive very quickly. Therefore, this thread is closed. If we can't be nice to each others then it's best to avoid each others!!!
