That's what I would've thought too. But remember, the friction tends to keep it where it last was, so when the suspenion compresses, the torsions are working against gravity, the weight of the vehicle, and the stiction of the suspension to try to raise the car back up to ride height.
I set the spring plates .5 deg lower, and the car still seems higher than before.
I'll freely admit, it seems counter-intuitive at first.
Oh, and John C., you won't be sorry!
Hayden actually had to talk me into swapping from the Elephant pol-bronze to the Wevo SPS because I thought it would be a lot of work for nothing. But now I'm really glad I did it.
I was actually going to remove my 80% LSD and lower the pre-load on it because I didn't like the handling characteristecs, but now with the SPS, it feels just fine. i really wasn't expecting that one.
