I live in DC, pothole capital of the world, just because you lowered it doesn't mean you have to drive on the lowest setting, when you drive around bad road, just have it on high.

A wonderful side benefit of switching to the BBS LMs. They are noticeably lighter than the factory wheels.
The ride is much nicer even though they are 19" instead of 18".
