Anyone comments? Yes. I have had the same experience with my '96 900SET. I was told that this model had limited suspension travel in the front. In fact, I am sorry to tell you, we have had to replace bushings in the front suspension twice due to pothole incidents. Dealer says it's very common (in NYC). I am pleased to note that the described improvements on the '99 9-3 (which I will take delivery of on Saturday) include increased travel in front suspension. I hope so. Kal
