I have to drive northern NJ highways, which can at times be confused for the cratered surface of the moon. Deptford is south of Philly, haven't really driven southern jersey but generally speaking, northeast roads or horrendous. I ride on H&R sports and the car rides decent. I can only imagine how jarring the ride would be with race springs.

here are mine. i gotta say, it's really not terrible and you won't bottom out as much as you think but you will definitely be dodging potholes a lot more than usual. once i was driving through a parking lot at night and didn't see a huge dip and the whole car felt like it fell into a hole but i still didn't bottom out. only time i have problem is pulling into a parking lot of driveway. oh and speed bumps.

I have sports on my car now and i wanna go lower. This isn't my first time lowering a car i used to have a mk3 jetta **** box on cheap knock off german supersport coilovers that was tucked any lower and i was slicing my tires. I had an 94 E36 beemer on tein co's and bottomed out every where... and an 00 golf on h&r cupkit which lowered it nothing..etc i have this problem where i spend tons of money and slam my cars and bust oil pans and control arms like no tomorrow its like i have a mental block I just have a love for over priced unreliable german cars it sucks
