I don't think Elvo is being negative, I'd call is realistic, I know Elvo and I know that all of his opinions come from real-world test experiences, I've also experienced similar effects to what Elvo describes.
if you have ever driven a car where the suspension travel does not allow the wheel past the chassis when the chassis is flat on the floor you will know how garbage it really is, especiallyf if it happens to be the rear wheels!
