I second that. Speed bumps (particularly tall, harsh ones) are the only time I don't love my solid front axle.

Since they are only 50 meters apart will traffic and speed allow you pulse 2 at a time? Pulse to the first and continue until the next and once over that pulse again?

Have you used your SG to try different techniques to see what works best?
