    problem I have is our roads...lots of dips and pot holes and 2" lips on driveways....really bad road repairs, I tried driving over some road like this at 100kmh and I swear the car almost jumped off the road (as in bounced high off the road )

    Sounds like you ladies need me to call the waaaaaambulance! If you want a cushy saloon, buy one. I will gladly take your bottom busters of your hands.

    my problem is I want to go faster without the car bottoming out..that's not possible even with the teins at stock suspension height. and I can't go with 19" rims with 40 profile rubber and keep the stock struts.....so here I am.

    Thats half the case, I do want some comfort but these coilovers are almost not driveable if the road isnt smooth enought . if speed is conserned and it is I dont like to drive well under the speed limit teins cant absorb bumps and teins simply bottom out and then lift off the ground and I´m allover the road this doesnt happen with stock ecs suspension .

    Lol, so don't hit the potholes. that's good defensive driving. I have and love them. I avoid huge bumps and normally do 80 on the freeway w/ ease. Just keep driving and you'll figure it out.

    no potholes here its frost in the ground that lift the ground and create bumps and I dont mean speed bumps or potholes etc.. Freeways dont have this problem .

    No..

    Just no.

    I cant believe the amount of dumbness being posted on this site recently.

    Between Steve and a few other people, they manage to keep me off this site unless i have to buy or sell something
