LOL so true... Story time...

My parents live down this really long street that has a ton of really bad speed bumps on it.

Everyone is always annoyed driving over these speed bumps because they are so harsh and jarring.

One of the first things I noticed when I bought my new Sportage was that I went over one of those "evil speedbumps" and... I hardly felt it! It was like going over a tiny bump!

My Dad was riding with me and he couldn't believe it, he was going on and on about how smooth the bumps felt!

Later I was riding with him in his Ford Escape and we went over the same speed bumps and it was like WHANG! OUCH!!!

Hehe...

I kinda missed that on my 96 sportage because I had put some Mazda MPV rear springs in, and they were too stiff and made the rear not flex enough.

I hope the RSG springs are soft enough to be able to soak up bumps like the stock ones, but I imagine they must be somewhat stiffer than stock, I just hope they are not as bad as the MPV ones.
