Changing suspension dynamics can have a dramatic on how a car feels...

I swear that my car is faster right after I fill it up with gas, but I know it's just the extra 100lbs of gasoline in the rear that makes the car feel different.

I be tripping too...

BUT it feels faster Maybe it's because it feels "planted". I know it's slower, but it don't feel that way to me...

It's interesting how the mind works sometimes. Perception vs. Reality...

It's mind thing. Did you just adjust the ride height or did you mess with the shock dampening also ?
