weight....

[Ross MacPherson <arm@unix.infoserve.net>]

Listers,
 
Could someone explain to me the pros and cons of "sprung" vs. "unsprung
weight" ?  I know what the terms mean but I don't understand the effects on
performance.  I would think that unsprung weight would have less effect on
handling due to less body roll but I've heard the reverse is true.    What's
the story?
 
Cheers,
