For street driving and the odd auto x in a smooth parking lot you won't notice it, but on a less than brand new track you'll DEFINITELY notice it.

I have to disagree. I notice the lack of travel and damping much more on the street than on the track. Street driving is more likely to give you the sharp impacts that result in a harsh ride than you'll get on even a bumpy track. I've tracked at Sebring, which is a converted WWII bomber field, a number of times and the car gets more upset by potholes than any of the weird seams at the track. At Homestead-Miami, which is immaculately surfaced, Sportlines work great.
