How fast were you going in order to damage your suspension by just going over a speed bump

I had to have my rear springs replaced last year probably due to speed humps but admittedly I don't tend to slow down much for them, I think I only paid around about £100 as my son gets my parts trade then fits them for me.

I needed something done to my suspension at the last MOT.  Nothing major though.  No idea if it was humps that caused it.  Mind you, it had done about 81,000 at the time and much of that was heavily loaded so can't complain really.

i change a 400 lit system down to a 250 lit sys in an escort 55 van, as i replaced my shocks and didnt want them to go again,   i replaced them as i had the money as they where probably ok, and i was just carrying to much water

if ur shocks went at 15 mph tehy must of been knackered before mate

Both my springs snapped on my 3 year old WW T5, it has a 1.4 carrying capacity and we never carry more than 600kg in it.

My coil spring broke. It's a common thing when the weather is cold and they are old.
