Suspension Question?

[cheezy240]

Well this may be a noobie question but what does the hardest and softest setting mean on coilovers? What would be best for a daily driver, softest??

I'm just looking for an answer please no flaming

The hardest means "harder". The softest means "softer". Probably softest on a street car, unless you have/like an aggressive setup.

ok well I was just curious my friend has a 240 with some coils and I asked him about it but he didn't really give me an answer. But ok I have an idea now but then what about drifting soft yet again?

[car nut]

If you're a noob to drifting, yes. Make it soft. It will help you get the car to slide. However, if you're an experienced drifter (which, no offense, I doubt you are) you want the car to be as stiff as possible.

Alright I understand you now, and none taken but yea I've drifted myself only once or twice, but ok thanks for the info.

experienced drifter = stiff as possible.

Not true.

It's really about preference.Sure body roll from a soft suspension helps with overseer And stiff suspension may provide a sense of controlBut stiff as possible?That's kinda silly.Then all those drifters would just replace their shocks with solid pieces of metal.

Preference. Not everyone drives their cars the sameSo their suspension will not be the same either./rant.
