914 Idiot Group: Members Posts: 15,192 Joined: 9-January 03 From: Silicon Valley / Kailua-Kona Member No.: 121 Region Association: Northern California	Shocks will only help in the very-very short term. They mostly affect transient stuff, the longer-duration things will get past them. (Think low-pass filter if you're an engineer geek.) It might help if the wheel just hops up very briefly, but I'm pretty sure that's not what is happening. Personally, I'd consider the stiffer front torsion bars on JP's car and softening the front sway bar. I'd also consider an LSD and a rear sway bar. (Maybe even give it a try without the limited-slip!) But I'm not sure I would actually do any of the above! It sounds like the car is doing quite well as it is, and focusing on the wheel-lift may not really help much in the long run. So I'd just try to get the alignment where I wanted it, work out the tire pressure issue, and drive drive drive drive drive!!! Don't you worry, Chuck will beat that Vette one'a these days! --DD
