Default RS-R Springs ISSUE PLZ HELP

I have RSR TI-2000 Springs and when I drive over a speed bump my car occasionally hits and drags along the bump. Now I have been driving lowered performance cars for many years and I know how to avoid this, the problem I am having is that occasionally I hit the bump slow and diagonal and I feel something in my clutch pedal that kind of feels like its slipping and it makes a clanking noise. Has anyone experienced or no what this could be, as it is not my car dragging on the bump, feels like its hitting and affecting my tranny in some way. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris

Man, how big are these speedbumps? I would try and get a tapemesaure under the car and messure your ground to transmission clearance and then measure the speedbumps you are having problems with. I haven't seen anyone else have these problems when lowered. Mostly it is scraping lips and such.

I have RS-R Ti2000, and never had such a problem. I drive alot in LA area, where crappy streets and speed bumps are all over the places. I think the issues is not with the spring.

Thanks for the info, yeah I have measured bumps and like you guys I would figure if my bumper is clearing them the tranny should also, so i have no idea what is causing this issue. I couldnt find suspension forum or I would have posted there.

Thanks,

Chris
