Stock Suspension Endurance

How strongly is the suspension designed? Anyone have any issues with it after hitting a pothole or anything else of that nature?

Last night I went over some deep railroad tracks on a road I'm not too familiar with going around 50mph and I thought I definitely broke something, but everything seems to be fine. Is there anything in particular that I should be looking for? The struts don't seem to be leaking, no squeaking/noises coming from anywhere, steering is still straight. Suspension's completely stock as of now.

I may just be paranoid, but any help is appreciated.

Youre paranoid.

Haha yea I figured, it's just that when I had my evo ix before getting the FR-S and hit a pothole or anything, I always had suspension damage as a result... Gotta love Michigan roads...

If you're going to smack some ditches and bumps, at least slow down before hitting them.
