Yes, the last sentence feels intuitively correct to me. But, something Lukin wrote is new to me; a car will roll more with a lowered roll center - all other things equal - but the load or weight transfer (what unit of measurement, pounds?) will be reduced...and perhaps proportioned a bit better between the inside and outside tires. The second part is new to me, but helsp me to understand the intricate dynamics at work.
So then, if weight transfers more readily - rolls over the RC - but is distributed more qeaully between the inside and outside tire, what linds of decisions should one begin to make with regard to spring rates? And part of my goal is to increase track by 15mm per side up front and 10mm per side in the rear.
Thanks for your help, this is great stuff!
