Is it for a better ride? Probably not.
Does it handle corners better? I doubt it. Unless you are running on a bunch of hard beans glued together. That'd be a cool rocky area on a track though.
How bout jumping? No real reason here. A bit is so small that it doesn't get hurt when it lands. Mine falls off the counter all the time.
The reason I wanted to do this mod origionally was to have a full suspension bit. Why? Just to have one. My tracks are all road courses with jumps. My jumps have landing pads.
The actual performance upgrade here for me would be to eliminate wheel hop when accelerating on tight weave carpet. But that's on my 3cell car booster Zap. I really should scrap the project and do a new one on a Zap chassis. More room for suspension and extra cells.

I should have added that I run my cars on a large textured Vinyl floor, so I see the difference between the suspension adjustments I've made. I also tend to mod for speed, so I see my cars act much differently than on a track that is usually a smaller, with a perfectly flat surface.
Your point is a good one. If you are running on a prepared surface like a track, I can imagine seeing very little "hop" or other suspension issues at all.
