Do slow down a fair bit for speed bumps though or it sounds horrible! depends which type of bump i suppose though
My dad has a normal fiesta and he drives normally over certain bumps- when he was driving me in mine the other day he carried on at the speed he would in his and it sounded like the car had been smashed into ![](/images/graemlins/lol.gif)
I wasnt too impressed- he did apologise in all fairness ![](/images/graemlins/snigger.gif)

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 ![](/images/graemlins/lol.gif)

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

Yeah glad i dont work down there anymore. Fitted my straight bracr today and thr car feels a bit stiffer now in the corners and when i go over bumps
bet your loving that mate. i did not think i strut brace would make it handle so weel but you can fling it into the corners
same here, didnt think it would make a big difference but even just driving around the steering feels lighter- defo worth doing imo ![](/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif)

yeah screw telling them about a strut brace just take it off if you crash ![](/images/graemlins/lol.gif) i havent told them about lowering, flexi, k&n, strut brace, new stereo or tints ![](/images/graemlins/mistake.gif) 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 ![](/images/graemlins/lol.gif) Coming clean next year though ![](/images/graemlins/angel.gif)
