I too fall into the general consensus of becoming accustomed to how I respond while driving my car around town as it is my daily driver. As much of a pain as it may be which is not much so I believe, it is well worth the daily hassles. When my vehicle was equipped with springs I would struggle going over speed humps and now that I have coilovers installed I am hesitant to go over them and I will not attempt to do so. The performance trade offs significantly outweigh the inconveniences, therefore, I put up with it and am extremely happy at the end of the day.

As reference I live on a hill which is rather steep and miraculously I do not scrape but I am sure I will starting next week when we do the final adjustments to my suspension (it's going to be lower).

As a side not I cannot fathom the infeasibility I will be faced with come next year when I opt for the GT3 front bumper, we will see though.
