i've been thinking about this for a while.. i wanted to see what others think.
what speed is "appropriate" for going over speed bumps? stock car.. suspension wise. will there be any long term effects for going over speed bumps at XX mph (kmh)? ..will the shocks wear out quicker? that sort of thing.

the slower the better....there is no equation for it (unless you have no life a dedicate it towards creating one). The faster you go the more abuse you put on the components of the suspension. I usually go over them as slow as possible.....screw the guy beeping behind ya.

depends on how high the bumbs are.. since youre on stock suspention and not lowered.. you dont really ahve to worry that much, all i do is slow down a bit. i dont thnk it'll hurt the suspention much of you go over speed bumbs around 15mph
