I don't believe stiffness is always more desirable. There are diminishing gains at some point, and you're also limited by the chassis itself.

Besides, what are you talking about? stiff dampers? stiff springs? stiff chassis? stiff bars?

If stiffness were all that matters, then why do shopping carts handle like shit?

more like they need a setup that allows them some travel so they can actually fucking turn instead of understeer.
anyway, i don't know why we're arguing about shopping carts. hahaha

Spring constants should be chosen based on how much load will be put on them and how much travel you want them to undergo in order to produce desirable effects that lead to the steering characteristics you want.

if you want stiffer shit, get stiffer springs, but don't hate on koni yellows.

We're not arguing.. we're joking.

To the post starter: did you buy Koni's because you wanted a rough ride?

If yes: you're dumb
If no: then be quiet because the shocks are fine.
