Spring Question......
#2
Usually, lowering springs are somewhat stiffer than stock. But even 50% stiffer springs will still let the car be moving about 2/3 as much. Better shocks (which you should be doing at the same time) will slow the see-sawing down (and your perception will be that less than that 2/3 is happening).
If you're at the dragstrip when this is a problem, you probably need more than just springs. In reasonably sane daily driving there's rarely any real need to be banging gears this hard - "gaining" a tenth of a second here and couple more there is utterly meaningless in most any situation other than in organized competition with real timers and real start/finish lines.
