Do you find the ride to be better with more weight in the car?

Do you feel more body flex now? I felt more after getting the H&Rs and have been wondering if the Warpspeed SFCs would be a worthy buy.

Why did you cut the bumpstops?

thanks

The ride is better with the added weight and the body flex more because of the stiffness of the suspension. SFC would be an asset to dropping a Maxima.

I cut the bumpstops about an inch to keep from riding on them when I have a load on the car. Riding on bumpstop is dangerous from a handling standpoint. I want the suspension to travel with/without a load.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to race his 5spd Maxima from a roll. The clutch and shifter are very easy to master IMO.

So basically a new born baby behind the wheel of a 5spd Max could whip you Deez.
So why are some 5 speeds runny slower than autos? Not everyone is a master of driving manuals, that's why.

If someone can't drive a STOCK 5spd Maxima to a low low 15 second quarter mile time after several practice attempts, then he is truley a newbie driver!
