People from Cali probably have no clue what you're talking about when you say the roads in Montreal are bad.

I was there in August and my god did I have to watch the road when I drive. Montreal is probably the worst if not one of the worst cities to drive in in the east coast.

I'd question your mechanic for asking you to get a new suspension, unless there's a leaking shock/strut I don't see the point of replacing the whole thing. A lot of times the noise are from worn bushing which can be replaced for fraction of the cost. And if you have to get new suspension I'd reuse the stock springs since you don't want to go any lower as you're already scraping.

Montreal women are beautiful, I just can't stand watching my suspension fall apart there.
