First off, its not a sports car.
The low profile runflats are responsible for most of the blame. My Z51 Corvette wears low profile runflats and its not as bad as these. Blew one out already on a pothole.

i just discovered that stupid dealer didn't remove the plastic parts from the suspension !

There are blocks they put in when the car is built that keep the suspension from compressing during the long trip from the factory to the dealer.

One of these threads pops up every few months...

A lot of our customers praised how comfortable their ride became after switching out the low profile run-flat tires to standard tires. When mounted with a lightweight set of wheels, the new setup can dramatically improve your handling and ride comfort!
