Got the new suspension put in, Bilstein damptronics, dog bones, rear toe links, GMG sway bar, GMG bushings, and monoballs.

Feels great BTW car literally feels like a go cart on steriods. Really does feel like a sports car instead of a point and squirt character the turbo comes stock with. I love the feedback and it really is more involving to drive wish I did it earlier. That with the other mods I have done so far, exhaust, plenum, headers, LWFW and the car just is scary, proboly wouldnt do the ECU again had I the choice but I already installed the SACHS clutch so i guess I'm gonna scare myself silly.

Anyways my concern is that I already hit two pretty substantial potholes..weird i hardly ever hit potholes too, but anyways the car felt like it really was buckled now that the suspension is so stiff. Now I know why I see all those photos of cup cars jumping cause there suspesnion is that stiff. Does this hurt my suspension alignment?

 

These are some sturdy cars, potholes won't usually throw out your alignment. But you can do it just to check. Now if your car got airborne and came down with the huge thump, then you may need to check your alignment. I'd be more concerned about the wheels being damaged.

 

Stiff suspension and bad roads usually translate to premature wear on bushings, shocks, wheel/tire damage, and interior squeaks.

 

I knocked my alignment out big time just going fast down a cobbled hill!

Now with my new suspension I feel potholes 10 fold. I did knock my geo out a little on a few potholes before Christmas. Even now I have a feeling that my lack of front grip is possibly due to going over too many speed bumps. It didn't feel like it does now after I left my tuner. Good job I will be seeing him again in 2 weeks!
