Gidday all. Well, I just got back from Cooktown (QLD) last night after a fantastic holiday with the family in Cairns and Cooktown. But on the drive home once I got onto the NT highways (Barkly and Stuart) I noticed that the car (BF XR8) has a tendancy to, kind of, float over bumps etc. I am guessing that the long miles on the 3rd world QLD highways have taken their toll. So I will be looking at new shocks and possibly springs...... What have other forum members done as far as spring and shocks on their BA/BF????
BTW we drove from Alice at 160 to 180, and ocasionally 200kph, on the 26th of december. We had a totally safe and un-eventfull trip. The trip back at 130kph was down right tiring and foced us to travell the last 2 hours into Alice at night, not good. : Cheers all.

sad new about the xr8. hope it goes well again soon. yeah its a bogus law. more people will be tired and its going to set people back alot. when there are more accidents they will only lower the speed limit.
