Suspension Problems??

kiko · 05-05-2008, 12:21 PM

I'm new to the forum. I live in Guadalajara and am coming up to Texas next week to pick up a new car. The road conditions here (potholes and topes) have repeatedly caused damage to my front suspension (upper mounting plates and strut towers) on on '04 Mini-Cooper and so I am seriously thinking either Corolla or Civic. This is a known problem issue will all Mini-Coopers and BMW won't address it.

Does the suspension seem to be a vunerable repair issue for Civics. I did a search and did not seem to find anything out of the ordinary, any comments?? Any suggestions as to wheel size or wheel type to help minimize potential damage??

Thanks for any help,

Nothing noteworthy to mention regarding suspension. I live in new orleans and the potholes are pretty bad here as well. My Si is still going strong. No problems so far.

Thanks for the quick reply; I agree with you about New Orleans potholes; I was there Aug '05 to December '05 and lost a few fillings during that time.
