do you hit the bump stops more on the sprints than we do on the Ground Controls?

that would be a good comparison...

No matter what, the shorter the spring. The less the suspension travel. I'm switching over to coilovers with adjustable strut body. I can get back all the suspension travel.

I think so. Some people consider hitting something on the bottom of their car as bottoming out. ie. Tranny case on speed bump.
