It is really evident when driving on low profile tires (something like 235/40 for example), if it hasnt happened to you yet, it will scare the shit out of you when it does, until you realize that is all the suspension is going to do for you in that scenario. That is of course, until you get stiffer springs. Btw, when I talk about stock suspension, I mean stock springs as well, lowering springs are not stock, that goes for TRD ones as well.

You don't need to be on the track to be riding the bump stops. Nor do you need to fit grippier tires. My point was that the bump stops on these cars are just additional springs working in series with the steel springs. The suspension continues to work as the engineers intended. There is nothing abrupt nor untoward happening as the car settles onto and begins compressing its bump stops. It is unfortunate that the bump stops have such an aggressive rising rate but that is apparently what Subaru engineers intended.
Riding the bump stops does not scare me one bit. If it is scaring you then you are outdriving your abilities and should slow down.
