    Speedbumps

    To all of you that zoom past speedbumps, at what speed do you usually take them? Have you incurred noticeable damage? Obv there will be accelerated wear on the suspension components, but what speed would you advise going over humps? Cheers.

    Installing Dobinsons 50mm lift springs & struts on Holden Colorado 7

    Dad and I installed Dobinsons Adjustable Monotube 50mm lift kit in my Colorado 7. I struggled to find any suspension 'how to' videos on Colorados so I thought i'd make one myself. The most helpful part for mine is the part where it shows how to get the strut out from inside the upper and lower arms.
