There was one point where I thought I was going to push out because of the suspension's rebound being pretty high. Remember, I'm on 185/70R13 BFG all season radials with a 400 treadwear rating. Hard as a rock, and I still got my RB springs to compress that much.

It's not that scary. As Kentetsu has said, it's a great stock replacement set of springs to renew worn out suspension. It does not give you a punishing ride, yet will give you a fresh set of springs. They came on my old FB, so that's why I have them. If I didn't have these springs and couldn't find a decent set of used ones, i'd be saving for ReSpeed.
LMAO!!! That was by far the roughest surface I have ever raced on. The lot was used to store cars long term, so there were huge dimples in the pavement where the tires sank into the asphalt. I had to crank my seat belt down to hold me in the seat, and I ended up with some pretty impressive bruises on my ribcage. I'd do it all over again too!!!
