last night all my friends and i went out and took max.... five and att some point six people piled in... and no matter how slow i went over everything i still bottomed out three times.... (we have MAJOR speed bumps in auburn)
i cant imagine what its like with coilovers and a body kit

 

that is why I am choosing air bag suspension. you still get the nice soft ride of factory suspension, but get to adjust the height with the push of a button. It is a little pricey, but the benefits out weigh it.

 

i always thought that if you bottom out with them.. your done.. but maybe you have a different setup than most people do.. those airbags can pop if you bottom out with enough force.. like say i84 or i684 pot-holes

oooh yeah.. forgot to add soemthing of use okay.. well with coilovers it just takes a little paitence to get over bumps and other things.. just give it time.. ofcourse when u pile a full car load of people in.. sometimes it lowers a whole lot more than you would with even coilovers depending on weight, etc.

I think by bottoming out he ment that the under side of the car was touching, not neccessarily the shocks themselves. It's a pretty sickening sound of tailpipe and sheetmetal rubbing against concreet or asphalt.

 

the underside of the car hitting the concrete.... not bottoming the struts out themselves

 

slammed ride then with 5 deep in your car you should of had everyone duck in the seats and get a pic......
