No, not really. You shouldnt be racing on a bad surface to begin with(your going to get **** poor result from any suspension set up to race). A harsh ride just means your not dampening as much more than anything. That doesnt mean your going to lose performance on a road with a bump or 2.
You do know that just because you have a built SRA, that doesnt mean you CANT dampen it right? You act like its not going to have shocks or springs lol. I think your letting TA spring rates go to your head a little and effect how you think the car would ride. You have to understand the with the lack of UCAs you need the extra support. The stored energy of the springs is going towards more than just dampening the car when using a T/A. IRS springs are a good example of this. The rear rates for IRS springs are similar.
The IRS isnt the end all be all rear end for turning a corner.
I dont know how many fully built SRA cars you have been in, but they are not that much harsher than a full delrin IRS.

i cant wait the TA is definately on my list i want it to handle superbly and these will not only help my handling but my straight line performance as well so its a win win.
the only thing that will be holding me back from taking the corners sharp after this is said and done is my seats
ill fly out the window before my car looses traction in the rear!
on that note i am looking at getting the last generation celica seats as i used to have one and they are very comfortable, the leather will match, they look nice, and they hold decently all for $100.
