I know this is a DSMer's thread, but maybe it would be better for the good of everyone if it was allowed to explore information on a wide variety of ideas, even if they may or may not directly apply. I mean, it seems to me that RJ was throwing out some good opinion and asking some questions. If someone wants a truly vehicle specific answer they need to hit up a forum on that car, if they want to start good conversation and get opinion from a some what more removed source, this is the place. I mean, I know better then to ask a TD question here...but MM is a great wealth of general knowledge for me personally.
I only take offense when I am corrected by someone on a car question that is directly pointed to a dsm, when they do not have much knowledge in that area. This thread is specifically asking what he should do for his dsm, therefore giving him misinformation and leading him in the wrong direction is not beneficial but harmful. If you do not know, dont assume its the same and then bash someone who has more experience in that car area. I Would not correct RJ on the correct suspension setup for an integra as would I not try to correct Chan on a correct suspension setup for a mustang. My last post was me trying to be nice saying thanks for the input, dsms are a little behind in suspension development, but this is what we have available and a suggestion like adjustable sway bars for this car would have him searching in the wrong direction, like getting sus-tech sway bars, which were stupidly engineered on a dsm not to fit with anything larger than the stock exhaust. The only option is a RM sway bar or custom RRE or CUSTOM CUSTOM setup by yourself.
I appreciate what you guys have to say all the time, my tone of voice probably sounds completely different than what it does in real life, as I respect RJ greatly and many others in this club with far more experience than me in road racing. However, no one knows everything and I only try to correct what they overgeneralize and are wrong about things. I am corrected by them on some things and I respect that, but I do feel that some MM members cannot take being wrong. If I came off that way, then I am sorry.
