I find that mine will “grab” on some roads, particularly Pennant Hills Road near the M2 as the surface has visible grooves from the extensive truck usage.

As far as potholes goes it is pretty rough. The wheels will crash into larger holes so I tend to swerve around them. Other than that, the ride is pretty good.

Cheers.

try the Koni FSD
it gives smooth ride even if you are running on 20"s

These few were taken before the mini antenna was put on, hence the tree sticking up from my bootlid

And here's a few from some photos that were taken in the office's carpark one night...

Stunning and yet mean and menacing and the wheels really set it off.

1 hour!!!

The polish would have well and truly worn off by then.

I'll see you soon for a re-application astra.

Cheers.

Prod???

I prefer the term “admirably consistent yet somewhat annoying persuasion laced with a sizable discount”.

Cheers.

P.S. Did I mention the 19’s look good?
