    I have a suggesgtion regarding the Springs of the vehicles .. is it possible to make them brakeable... or is that planned ?
    so for example whne hitting a curb a rock or a pothole hard enought, so that the Spring brakes?

    You can already break them if you get hit REALLY hard. Like by the rocket bus at 400 km/h or when you fall off a giant cliff. They are really strong though. I haven't heard of any situation irl when a car spring would break from a pothole or a rock.

    well It can happen ... I had that a few times at work ..
    and well the only way you can destroy it is to utterly destroy the whole suspension...

    Springs are normaly made that they could maybe break after 10 Years of heavy use.
    That happens when microcracks are in the Steel of the spring.
    Those get wider and after a pothole they can break but again, springs are made of a very reliable and proven steel so it's not that easy to break them
    --- Post updated ---
    Thats cause in this game wear isn't included.

    But you could mess around with gamefiles and lowering the strenght of the Springs. But if you wanna do that is a different question.
