I can certainly relate to this, to the point where I'm considering taking the STi Pinks off the LGT and going back to the stock springs as the cost-efficient "solution". Southern Ontario roads were considered amongst the best in North America in the 1980s. Now, according to the CAA/AAA, they're amongst the worst.

Check out how the Mini did on the same seam (link just below the video window).

I'll have some used Koni's available in just over a month.

They are for the LGT, about 10K on them.

Only driven on Sundays. :-)

What are you replacing the Konis with?

Yes, but it's HOW you use them on Sundays that's the issue. ;-)

The LGT has adjustable Konis. The front ones have been on "full soft" for at least a year now. The back ones are in the middle of their range.

As I drove out of downtown Toronto yesterday, I thought it would be fitting to make David "more bike lanes!" Miller ride his bicycle along Kingston Road around Victoria Park Ave.
