2 times yesterday on 2 different roads I didnt realize that they has scraped up about a 2 foot wide area across the road about 2 inches deep. And both times *CABAMM!!!!!* I thought I ripped the entire front end off, at the least bending a rim or 2. I love the car, but man it does not like any type of road irregularities. Low profile tires with hard shock valving= OUCH!

Sorry, just venting

'Round here we got a lot of gravel roads. Am I lookin' at problems for myself here?

I dont think so, it just doesnt like hitting anything sharp edged, i.e expansion joints to a lessor degree, or as I found out, it really doesnt like hitting the square edge of old to new tar. When it happened, both times, it startled the crap out of me, it was border line violent.

sorry dude but to me it sounds like you have never been exposed to a suspension that has stiffer spring rates?? the stiffer they are and usually lower...the rougher it gets, this car actually feels great compared to my civic on skunk2 race springs..

I am sure it has something to do with my not being used to something so stiff legged, but it cant be good for the car when it jolts so bad the coins I keep in the cup holder fly out!

heh, trust me man it has been worse for other people..sounds like construction in your area sucks..but hope ya still like the car either way. 8)

I really am just worried about something happening to the car, I dont want anything to break because of it. I love the car, its gonna take alot more than this to get me to not like it!!
