Re: 'nother shocking question

Brad-

  The shocks only control the rate at which the car transfers weight.
They will not hold the car up, unless your talking air shocks. And
you're right, hitting the bump stops is usually bad. Basically what
happens is that you have a very sudden, very large, increase in spring
rate (usually infinite) which will probably cause severe understeer.
This is to say the least not what you want.

  Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.
