Please explain this new concept, it sounds extremely complex and difficult.
We need to theorize how effective it will be in application.

Long overdue update:

Car still moves around like crazy with my stupid totally scientific jouncing compared to the street car.

Feels fine driving.

There's my glowing review.

My question is how you managed a <2000lbs nb??
my nb2 is 2450lbs on truck scale, with spare and jack removed. I just dont see 450lbs in removing carpets, ac and ps.

How much lightness did you add? You have to add lightness.

I'm not sure if my car is under 2000lbs. I wouldn't claim that. I was asking what people with cars that light do.

Mine is likely under 2100, but i haven't weighed it.

NB2s are pigs. I have an NB1.

My NB1 was 2240 with full OEM interior, gutted trunk, softtop (no hardtop), BFW roll bar, Xidas, full tank o' gas, and deleted AC & PS.

I've since ditched the soft top, added an OEM hardtop, added splitter, swapped to an NA6 dash and LRB door panels while cutting out some door structure.. No clue where it'll weigh in now.. to be found out sometime in the next few months..
