Is that some inside joke or sexual street lingo I am unfamiliar with?

Mazda doesn't offer the BSpec coilovers a la carte. If it fits, I may end up ordering these Eibachs.

No, he means the bumps were so severe over railroad tracks that it launched the luggage that was in the trunk flying up high enough to see it in the mirror.
That's what she said.

I'm still curious about this...
Email into Ford, phone call into Leo Capaldi racing.
Put me in the "like wheels now" camp.
I did not previously, but they look Japan-style now.

Technically it was a bump on I-4 in Orlando and, yes, pretty sure that I saw my overnight bag in the rear view mirror.

Um... what?
Did you fill in the trailing arm bushings voids with epoxy?
Ride quality is firm. By no means harsh. It is a race kit, after all. And yeah, the wheels look excellent in person. The overall combination of stance and fat tires miraculously transform the cars too-tall / too round / too spindly proportions. I love telling people: "Yeah, we're gonna drive it on the street for a year, then turn it into a race car."
Now if only it had some beans under the hood.....
In reply to ReverendDexter:
The car stuck to the ground but responded so violently on expansion joints it launched passengers out of the seats. It was worse in the back seat than the front.
Similar to the discussion of luggage and the Fiesta :)
For the record, the GRM sticker on the back wasn't me. I think David did that. 
The ride quality is pretty bad, but it handles well. It was fun for a week, then it just became painful to drive on the street. I'm glad I got my Trooper back together.
