before I bought my 340 I bought a few Toyotas. I love the Celica, but the 340 might change all that.

I've decided that I'm going to keep my 360 - because I just frickin love it so much :360:

So - it's going to be my work car. The family can ride around in the monster truck. This means I no longer have to make family car compromises with my Volvo :twisted:

My thoughts precisely sm40

I'm a bit nervous about changing the suspension setup though - it works really good the way it is. How does stiffening up the front end affect understeer?

The less roll you have from each end promotes that ends __steer, so too much front spring stiffness would bring you to understeer land. I keep meaning to try and learn the maths to work out what spring rates would be idle but theres always more interesting things going on ;)

Considering how saggy most 300 suspension is, I'd guess it could go a fair amount more, but without doing the maths it's a going to be trial and error?

No need for trial and error...
