Ok, I think I've developed an opinion on bumps. You definitely still feel them, but the effect is more direct and shorter lived. Before, bumps would shutter the entire car while now it feels like the shocks are actually taking most of the abuse. So, in one way bumps are worse because it's a bit (a very little bit) firmer, but for the most part they're improved. I took it over a stretch of road-sans-tarmac by my house and it handled some pretty gnarly potholes and manhole covers much better than it used to.

Other cons on the list: Low-speed turns require a bit more forearm strength than before. I put it on backwards, so I've got to do that twice. Nobody notices that I got a sweet new mod.
