They arent to bad (usually found driving hard helped hit the first bump miss about 4 or 5 then land on the 6th lol), only ever had problems with speed bumps, but even they were negotiable lol

my steinmetz is on e-bach springs all round 30 mm drop billies out back and kyb front struts sits nice and level and you can push on through twisty bits still not as hard as a bmw sport so nice ride but some speed cushions are a pain becouse of body kit front end is much lower than normal elite to start with,come and have a look at vauxhall performance day at santa pod on 10th of june. :y
