[Shotimes] Aftermarket KYB Struts?

[Carl Prochilo]

ROTFLOL!!!  This is the kind of post I like.  SHO relevant with humor.

Okay, your disclaimer then spawns two more questions.  If a car has a 0.84
ratio, and the additional suspension mods include things like
Tokico/Eibachs, poly all around and AL SFBs, does the ratio need to be
reduced further to get a more balanced car?  What happens when one adds
subframe connectors?

Second question is, should I be able to compensate for balance and decrease
understeer if I reduce air pressure in the rear tires by a few pounds?
