one bump too far

[Mark1]

I don't hit pot holes I drive around them as wheels won't like it.

[vinny_69]

i do most of my driving at night mark so sometimes these things happen

i might also go down the 16's route with a slightly taller profile

[Mark1]

You can go for a taller profile on the wheels you have which would save you some money.

If you go 205/45/17 it well be within 0.16% of the standard wheels, also check the pressure.

[vinny_69]

what pressure would you recomend mark i used to have the se8's at 32 bar havent even checked the V6's yet

so i might just bung on some new shocks and switch the TC off

Never had any probs when I had her. Hitting large potholes wont help seeing as your on 215/40/17. If you've got the spare cash go for the full Gmax setup same as Robbie and Neil, I only fitted Gmax springs (so me bad). As for the ABS might have dislodged something when you hit the pothole.

I run 34 alround on my 18's and it seems to drive ok, if you are going to change the shocks I'd use Koni's or go for a coilover kit that way you can set the car up as you want it. Toby's just got a set of coilovers for his Cosra

[vinny_69]

the ABS light stayed off on the way to work today but i will give it a wee look on sunday poss d/s sensor
and i will be giving performance tuning a call sometime soon and see if i can get some braided lines too.


or depending on the price Autotint

[tazz666]

[vinny_69]

i know its off my se8

[kdchorse2]

I need a phone with a camera, last calibra needed two wishbones after went over missing pice of road in Hertfrodshire...with camera I would have claimed.

[tazz666]

i know its off my se8

, no i have two spare ones from the v6, so na na na na na

[vinny_69]

well i took a trip to mc D's and it still didn't light up so eithert it sorted itself out or the bulbs blown

but i have the Gmax kit winging its way to me

[Robs-se]

I have GMAX on mine, lowered 40mm and yep the roads in Luton are killing me as well, drive around one pothole and hit a bigger one

[vinny_69]

rob have you just got the springs or the full kit?

Hi, I've read your posts & I must say I'm using Bilstein shocks with Eibach Springs (35mm) & the set up is really good. When driving on standard 15" or 16" wheels very smooth & same comfort as factory suspension setup. The change came when I fitted 17" BBS's, it's still smooth on a good road but driving over pot holes feels a bit rougher so probably just avoid potholes
