Hi,

I have a 2003 MCS with support suspension. What can I do to make the car ride less harshly?
I am finding the car a little too bumpy and unforgiving on uneven roads.

I am aware that moving non run flat tyres would help, but is there anything else could I change ?

Thanks

I put them on my MINI ONE and they're fantastic. Expensive, but very nice.

The best way to briefly describe it is to liken the ride quality to a bigger car. You ride over bumps more smoothly. However, you might find some people on the site saying that they now go hunting for potholes and that you don't feel them... ... this is a gross exaggeration. But it does feel like a bigger car with more inertia to withstand a bump more smoothly - and feels less like a small car that jars and shudders over bumps.

Anyway, hope that was somewhat helpful.

All the best,
Andrew.
