[s-cars] urS Best Suspension?

[CLAG500 at aol.com]

Teddy,

  Some excellent points.  I especially like your obsevation that a lowered
car with strut suspension could actually be cornering with less camber than a
car at stock hieght. Actually, once the lower control arm is past it's apex
camber will go positive as the suspension compresses. Not good for cornering.
