There is a famous photo of a racing Porsche, like a 908 with the rear tires off the ground. Back then (about 1979) the rear shocks were stiff Bilstiens but the springs were just worn out. There is a bump right before that spot. The front was fine, but the rear springs were forced into the wheel arches, and the shocks would not let the spring recover and it hopped every time. I set a buddy up with my camera all framed up and exposure set. I drove past about 5 times. The first photo was the best.

I replaced the springs and it would not hop anymore.
