You are a romantic - and I'm a heartless cynic. If machine assembly makes it more reliable/better quality, as some have suggested, I'd go machine build everytime.
I keep hearing about superchipping/remapping. Now, I understand why a remap would be necessary to get the full benefit of some other modification but what’s the deal when applied on its own. There’s no such thing as a free lunch, otherwise the manufacturers would have that spec...
I think there are two types of stiffness here that are being confused.
The first type of stiffness is the reactive stiffness of the damper, which is essentially the resistive force generated for a given displacement rate. This is the stiffness most people are referring to when they mention...
