yah, it's the suspension stiffness measured at the wheel. since you're pushing the wheel away from the car, it gives more leverage thus softening your suspension. again, i dont know your application so dont know if thats going to be a big factor or not.

Makes sense. Well at one of the stiffest I've seen here if I do change it I'm not to worried. Cars getting built for track like mid ohio, VIR etc.

i see... with a tad softer ride resulting from the aggressive offsets, you might actually gain more traction with the right tires. GL
