Watch out!
Hey just a heads up to all. A great oppurtunity to learn from my dumbass mistake. I just realized how 35% stiffened suspension really affects the car. I was driving up I 93 North into Boston, right before the city the road is horrendous. The highway has all kinds of bumps and divits. So I am doing about 80 mph and I hit one of these bumps going around a slight bend in the highway. My wheel literally bounced off the ground and when it came back down the car went all twitchy and thank God there was no one near me because the force of that bump caused my car to fire off into the lane next to me when the wheel landed.
All I could picture was the opening scene in Forza 2 when the Skyline and NSX hit the bump on the track and go flying into the wall.
I had an RSX before this car and I knew the roads were bad, but holy crap, everytime I hit a bump now I'm just thinking.... Alignment... Adjustment.... ooooo that cant be good for the suspension....

Ive been on NYC roads that were way worse than that. I thought the whole front end of my car was going to rip off of my old Accord. And thats after I slowed down waaay below the speed limit.

Yup it was a highway, not really pot holes just dips in the road. I wasn't expecting them to be there, one would assume a major road that is supposed to handle speeds up to 65 miles an hour.they came out of nowhere. I swear I crossed the RI state boarder and as soon as I hit MA the road turned to crap... So I guess the only logical solution here is.... Move to RI...
