[QUOTE="stutaeng, post: 24769, member: 6175"] Yeah, I agree with [USER=12360]@CPB[/USER] . Timken, Sumo or air helpers, and "send it." And regardless, you can't compare a lighter vehicle with the same torsion bars as a heavier vehicle because they don't weigh the same: damping factors are unequal. [ATTACH type="full" width="386px"]3812[/ATTACH] And the rear suspension stiffness won't be the same either (coil spring vs leaf springs, even with stiffer coil springs,) so there's that. I think even different wheelbase lengths may have an effect on ride quality...So it's not an apples-to-oranges comparison. [/QUOTE]
