is it just me, my car... or do the front suspension with bilstein hd and ipd springs have a tendency to skip of bumps during hard acceleration? it also happens when accelerating thru midturn bumps..

too stiff springs? not enough damping?

Too stiff and too much power and not grippy enough tires. Its the cries of any FWD car with HP and a modded suspension.

I find I get the same thing but only when it's a really bumpy road. It's quite annoying.
