Well gee, they really make the front end go *bang* over bumps. Quite startingly harsh given I have about "50 inches" of suspension travel on a stock iS and the car is otherwise super comfy and compliant.

Sharp bumps really make themselves known with THR.

Steering feel is better sure, you feel a lot more vibration and such through the wheel as you go over different surfaces. For a daily car, I don't know you'd want THR CAB, as good as they are for a DE / track car.
Hate to break it to you man. It shouldn't bang even with solid everything. Something else is wrong with your car.

Hate to break it you man, you are misinterpreting my words.

The description is intended to describe the actual increase in harshness felt when switching from 22YO, worn, old rubber CABs to solid, non-flexing CAB

K thanks, bye

Ahh, that's the spirit.

Those M3 rear guards look good on a regular body, no really.

Say hi to your mom
