I wouldn't call our suspension "stiff". It's compliant, yes, stiff no. The spring rates are not all that high on this car.
That said, your worries are still valid. That's why I opted for only one bike on this versus two. The material used (303 SS) is extremely strong in terms of SS goes. Not saying there isn't a chance for failure but that's a risk you take with anything. I'm confident that for the 30min to 1hour of driving I will be doing to the trail, this rack will hold up. It's not meant to be installed permanently.
I'll be doing a road test when it's not snowy and slushy out to see how it does. Need to take it to the shop and get a tune-up!
