I already ordered some coil-overs with adjustable lower spring perches.
Funny thing is, I never had that on any track or event I drove before. The Ring surely brings out any imperfections, even small ones. Running with all sorts of luggage in the front trunk and a passenger also helped squeeze down the bump stop beyond normal limits probably.

What sort of speeds do you get down the long straight before start/finish line?

As you may know just about after the last bridge crossing, your supposed to slow down for the gates at the start/finish/exit point and max speed signs are present, but I usually like to keep my foot down till right at the bridge where I cross at about 190 km/h or just under 120 mph. The ' straights' just after Hocheichen and after Aremberg are also very high speed parts. Car stability is essential there as 120 mph on a straight flat highway is soooo different then anywhere on the Ring... and the official straight passed start/finish is never possible to run full by due to the Touristenfahren start/finish halfway that straight. Pity though.
