The stiffer suspension has the added benefit of increasing cornering clearance noticeably too.
That's about what I weigh, so you're happy with your setup now? I just know right now I feel like I'm floating on off ramps and it kinda scares me. I forget the exact model, but i got Pirelli street tires and that did help, but I can tell most of the issue is in my suspension
