Going around potholes and other road hazards is common sense, but if you have to dodge "everyday" things like speed bumps and ramps that's annoying as hell.
speed bumps shouldn't be that high so my car scrapes.

why do you need coilovers to race? my car's value hasn't changed a bit.

handling, adjustability, driver comfort..

There is one thing if you slow down for potholes (or change lanes to avoid them altogether if there is no traffic,) but if you have to almost come to a stop to go over a manhole cover or go across a speedbump sideways then your car is not roadworthy.

At that point your car no longer looks "cool." You just look like a selfish brat.
are you telling me that my car is too low? see attached.
