Orb,
Are you saying that switching to lighter weight wheels and non-rft tires with ths zsp would adversely affect handling/ride instead of improving it?
This is not exactly what I was implying. There is just not a lot room for addition stiffness with spring or sway bars. Dump the RFT and the car grip improves but you start noticing how sloppy the stock dampening is. Lighter wheels increase suspension frequency slightly. These changes are tolerable but doubling the spring roll bar stiffness is another story.
