    You realize that having sports suspension leads one to wonder if you aren’t one of those drivers that make people want to put in speed bumps. Don’t get me wrong, I realize that may not be the case, and you might be a very reasonable, safe, and careful driver, but just pointing it out.

      Speed bumps are often not so much for speed control. People slow down for them and then speed right back up. They don’t work for that.

      It’s often to encourage people not to cut through neighborhoods that happen to connect to other neighborhoods. They want you to take the main road, not the shortcut.

      The speed humps are actually worse on a softer setting. The car takes far longer to settle after a bump.

      On standard suspension, the car would bounce off the bump stops at half the speed of everyone else.
