Speed Bumps bad for susepnsion?

I live in a complex where I go over 5 speedbumps to get to my apartment. I have to go to school and work so I end up going over 20 speedbumps a day. Is this bad for my suspension? I have the Tein Felx coilovers and shocks.

How big are the speedbumps? Are they the little bumps, or LARGE ones?

I don't think it will be that bad...if you go slow.

driving causes wear and tear on suspension.
normal stuff.

just go real slow over the speedbumps.
if ppl get stuck waiting for you, too bad. not like it takes that long anyway.
coilovers are expensive, after all.

Absolutely, this will destroy your suspension. Dampers and springs are NOT DESIGNED to have any compression/rebound whatsoever. I'd take them off immedaiately and ship them to me ;-)
