How does the upgraded suspension handle? Is the ride rough or harsh?
The suspension has been carefully matched and tuned for neutral handling characteristics. All worn suspension bushings, control arms, and links were replaced during installation of the new Eibach and Bilstein components. The soft stock ride has been replaced with enhanced road sensitivity and confidence-inspiring grip and control. The car no longer pitches and dives during acceleration and braking, and remains relatively flat on corners, exhibiting progressive body roll. Tire pressure and sway bar adjustments can facilitate further tuning should different traits be desired by other drivers. The ride is tight and athletic, but I would not describe it as harsh or rough (your opinion may differ). Having owned many E34’s with both modified and stock suspensions, I can honestly admit that I would never trade my car’s excellent control and agility for the original ride any day.
