You guys are funny, you should come down to Louisiana. There are random "ramps" everywhere in the streets, and random DEEP pot holes. Shreveport's solution to fix roads is to throw tar on TOP of whatever the issue is, not cut out it out and fix it. There are about 10 different locations in the route just to my office about 5 miles away that I can scrape my front subframe on going slow over.

^^Same here in Houston..Its either construction, detour's, or some cheap patch in the road...I want coilovers, but wouldnt be able to enjoy the wheel tucking low seeing as how I have bottomed out even on springs.

I'm so used to bombing through holes and over bumps in my trucks that I'm going to have to get used to driving a car again. Hopefully I don't have to raise it up like you do. 
I live on a dirt road so that's going to be interesting too lol.

It's amazing that we are the top dog in the world military wise but can't even get the roads decent.
Its realistically a problem with the engineers and workers though. They don't seem to understand it the foundation is cracked throwing more concrete on top is not going to fix it.

Maybe just raising it just a tad might alleviate much of the teeth grinding everytime you go miss a crap stretch of road?

I remember driving a lowered Civic in NYC for a couple of days about five years ago. I held my breath every time I came to a speed bump.
It is funny watching people in lowered cars, though. If you've owned or driven one before, then you give the guy in front of you wide berth and a lot of compassion when he does 5 mph in a parking lot. I also remember doing those wide swerves to avoid the speed bumps- my ex thought I was crazy because I used to drive about an extra 1/4 mile down the street to go into the alternative entrance to our complex. But it was to avoid those fracking bumps...
Grrrr...
