Raised suspension? WRC Rally Style?

[torqueaholic]

Do you know of any WRC rally "style" pictures or videos of Fortwos?

I live in Southern California where there are some pretty bad intersection transition dips and rough roads. I think that a softer yet slightly higher suspension would prevent bottoming out and undercarriage scraping.

Yah, we live in Sac and I commte once in a while to SF - I-80 has some monster potholes, plus the paving "improvements" that could eat a small SUV... I've hit some so hard I wondered why the front tires didn't pop. I-5 and 99 have a fair share and I'm tired of finding the bump-stops so readily. What I think is needed is a nice progressive-rate stock-height spring and new bump-rubber kit for those of us too old for the boyz-racer ride and looks of the H&R srings -

I run I-80 up over Donner.
they have torn it up doing the improvements.
I installed Eiebach springs and noticed that it doesn't bottom out as quick on the bumps. They are a little stiffer so it seems not to hit the snubbers as quickly. I don't think the ride is too stiff, overall I really like it.
