Wow Graham. U visited Montreal last summer ? . Yeah, I'm happy that the Grand Prix is back next year too. Were you in Montreal for the Grand Prix ? Next time you're back to Quebec, make sure U also go to Quebec City, and there is also the east coast which is beautiful. It's the Gaspesie region. Look up the Michelin Road guide, they should mention about this region.
Btw, if I were to change my shocks, I'll go for the OEM too. I don't like to change for a firmer ride because I like the way how it's confortable currently. Plus the facts that we in Quebec are having bumpy roads because of the winter time, so I don't want my car to queak and cracks in the dashboard. When I test drove a BMW, I found out that because the suspension is too firm, the whole interior queaks and rattles because of the bad road condition we have.
Did you have a chance to visit all Montreal yet ?
