2003 P5 Suspension

[dpa34]

Hey everybody,

just asking for some helpful advice, I have a 2003 P5 and I find the suspension on the car a stiff and ruff ride, now I know I have low profile 16" Dunlop tires but the question I have is what would be the best Product for the Money.to make the car a more softer drive. I was reading about eibach springs but are they used mostly to lower your car? Or would they make it a softer ride as well?
What about the suspension? What would you recommend there?

Thanks in advance.

downsize your wheels and tires from the 195/50/16 to a 205/55/15 to keep the aspect ratio the same, but the increased rubber will soften the ride up a bit. i take it you have no interest in driving the car aggressively, so it doesn't really how small your wheels get. it'll not look as good, but you can't have it all.

Chances are that if you go to an aftermarket spring set up, then yes, the car will most likely be lower and you will also get a stiffer ride than stock. The rubber on you car will affect the ride, but like mentioned above looks will be sacrificed.

What kind of car were you driving before the P5? For the way the car handles I think the ride is supposed to be a little more firm. If you still don't like the ride, then I think that you would have to consider a new car, one that is a little less sporty.

IF you want a softer ride..swap out to stock DX/LX springs
