Suspension upgrades, whats the difference?

Last night I bought the upgrade kit that comes with the red/blue motor, 3 axles/gears, and the suspension bars. Whats the difference between the suspension? I see that 1 of the bars has 2 holes, 1 as 4, and the other 6. Im curious as to what the difference is between them and what they will do for me.

Also, just to let you guys know, I put the red motor and gear on my clone bit and that baby flies now. It was faster than stock zips straight out of the box but now it's even faster than before. Im in the process of taking pics of my car now so I will post em as soon as I'm done!

Why do you think I asked this question in the first place? I've read through that thread, read the ZZ faq AND the Bit/Microsizer faq and, unless I missed it, it doesnt go into much detail about it. Yes, it does mention that there ARE upgrades for the suspension, but, it doesn't go into much detail as to what the DIFFERENCE is between them. So, if you dont mind, I ask again: What is the difference between the suspension bars with the 2, 4, and 6 holes?

The more holes the softer the suspension. The firmer the suspension the less your car's body will roll. Less roll = quicker turn in and more responsiveness. More roll = slower turn in and less responsiveness. Balance these attributes with the tires, gearing and motor to give the best handling and speed for the current track and conditions. If your tinyrc you would also adjust your antenna to help with handling (weight the front or rear more with the angle of the antenna).
