How do you all drive? Do you avoid hard cornering to protect your car? And what have been you experiences? I did quite a bit in my 2000 RS, never had a problem and I sold it with 103,000 miles.

Hard cornering will put extra stess and wear on tires, suspension components, and bearings. If they are up to the task, no problem. If they are weak, they will wear and need replaced sooner. Don't know any other way to answer this.
Now if you don't make it through the corner and leave the road or track, then you may have some new problems.
