I do strongly agree with you on the higher pivot point bro detroiter. Me myself find the higher pivot point a very great mod and "free" improvement on the handling department.

I will like to highlight on this "higher pivot point" suspension mod. To GAIN the best benefit of the upper pivot point, we will need to have shorter and stiffer springs for the rear suspension in order to enjoy the full benefit of "stock" geometry levels without causing the rear springs being compress "un-balance".

I really don't feel comfortable seeing my rear Tanabe NF springs being compressed till most of my coils are touching each other and the springs are not standling vertically (|) instead they are being compress till like a "(" from the side view if we look carefully on inside of our rear wheel.

Also, i move back to the lower stock pivot points to "reduce" the springs load effect so i could gain back some comfort.
