brackmills ones are a joke. have to crawl over them ones but any others are fine.
hitting a pot hole tho that is a different matter feels like you hit a wall



especially with a strut brace as well

Like driving over a breeze block

It's a bit bumpy if you don't go slower but not ever a scrape!

It feels like you've not got tyres on when you go down a pot hole

i slow down to about 15-20mph and go over them don't scrape, but i get a few rude mouthed words from people around my area normally... if i do i just stay at the same speed till the next bump instead of speeding up



Nice one

I wouldn't have bothered telling them about a strut brace unless you were putting something else on at the same time - you're with Greenlight, right? Is that not £25 admin charge just to tell them about a strut brace?!

Dev, slow down more for speed bumps and avoid pot holes at all costs. It's well worth the little extra hassle

yeah screw telling them about a strut brace
just take it off if you crash

i havent told them about lowering, flexi, k&n, strut brace, new stereo or tints
Then again K&N, strut brace, tints and stereo i'd just rip out if i had to claim and pray they don't notice the lowering and flexi
surely they wouldn't notice a flexi?? not worth the risk some might say but it is in my eyes

Coming clean next year though
