I think my car catches air...
Well the new suspension is crazy cool. I can take turns quite fast and it handles soo well. Its not super bumpy but I noticed something. When I'm doing about 30-40 and I hit the rail road tracks and the road is at an incline my car hoops or at least it feels like it does. Its almost like my front end catches air.

Can this really happen? How to remedie this?

Well its just this one section, cuz like its two tracks...and it slowly inclines then u hit the first and ur car bounces over the second track and right after the track it drops back down. Same feeling as your stomach in a roller coaster, it does this when your in a stock car....but it really feels like my car is hopin up. I had to drive over them today again...same thing...I'm hitting it at like 35. I like to go fast there cuz theres a nice bend. I guess I'll just slow down.
