As you can tell my philosophy is to firstly optimize the geometry then play
with the rates. How stiff do you want the car?  550 in/lbs in the front and
300's on the rear would be a good start...  Provided that you don't car
about your fillings in your teeth.

Lowering the ball joints would be hot ticket...  How to do it?  Pay a
machinist a small fortune....  LOL

I would look into having new Lower Control arms built...  With a raised
inner pickup and swaybar mount.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you.  I'm slammed with work (I'm
shooting a TV series in Salt Lake City)  If you have any more questions let
me know.
