Michigan's roads are particularly what have me worried about it more-so than an autocross or track setting where most places are relatively smooth and your inputs are mostly mid and low frequency inputs.

I was a bit weary about using the OEM crash bolts for the same reason but since they are factory approved I figure they must have a decent safety factor built in even on the smaller bolt.

I was planning to use
these, which are the same as the ASTs according the posts in the thread. But supposedly they maintain stock ride height.
The Whitelines also look nice,
here, but they don't say anything about whether or not they maintain stock ride height.
