I have Steeda CC plates, Tokico 5-way adjustable struts (RB3140) and custom springs from Hermann. The springs lowered the car maybe 3/4".
The car rides fine in general but when I go over a sharp bump like a 90 degree edge the front suspension just bangs hard like there is no suspension at all. I tried all 5 strut setting but didnt change the issue. Anybody have any ideas as to the problem?

What is the spring rate on your springs? I'm guessing your springs and struts are badly mismatched.

I had the same problem with the Steeda CC Plates; there is a machining flaw in some of them. You'll need new plates (I only had on bad one and they replaced it).
