bumpy and bouncy are two different things.

k sports are stiff, there is no bottoming out..

Ksports are not bouncy if you set dampening right..

You just need to relearn how to drive your car. speedbumps you go diagnol over and you need to learn your limits as to what driveways from buisnesses you can and cant pull out of. Simple stuff you just need to pay more attention.

Sometimes it's tough. My girlfriend doesn't like to be in the car when I hit bump when she hears thuds from under the car. But, I'm not worried about my kit. I'm worried about my car's frame.

Yup, the coilovers don't make the body kit scrape, the shocks don't let it bounce more than once per bump, but they definitely are stiff. However, setting them too low makes it almost impossible to drive it for more than 6 months before the next mechanic scrapes it for you on their lift.

Even with a moderate drop you need to be careful. We have a pretty good over hang, and it doesnt take much of an incline to scrape the front lip.
