But if you think of it the stiffer the car is it will grip roll easier if you let the car roll on the suspension it wont grip roll as easy. this is the case for high grip astro btw. if your on dirt or polished wood or somfin the softer the spring it will giv u more grip. you dont want your car to be stiff on high grip astro unless ur a really good driver. it is much easier to drive if the car is softer and has more roll. it is also easier to push and is less twitchy if it is softer. hope this helps.
