I don't want to veer off topic but I wonder if those who have changed to shorter/stiffer springs still experience the same degree of tramping?

I dont know if its the warmer roads, the bridgestone being worn in completely, or the eibachs but i havent really been suffering from 2k+ miles onwards and that is after i put the springs on...

It's hard enough to prevent tramping in a GTD at the best of times when pulling away with more than 60% throttle from a standstill, I can't imagine the situation improving with use of launch control.

I've never had tramping in my GTD... wheel-spin yes, but tramping... no.

You have those dodgy Bridgestones though, don't you? :laugh:

Could be the springs, it could be the warmer weather - the Bridgestones are very temperature sensitive, could be that they're worn out... or a combination...
