Thank you. I need the softer ride- it could be a touch firmer but that's not really my issue. It's the body roll, taking a corner at speed and feeling the car list to one side that's my issue. After the E90 M-Sport, it's an uncomfortable feeling. The suspension takes the turn, but the cabin falls away.

Is a sway bar alone enough to stop the body roll, or would the shocks + sway bar get rid of it better? If what I'm looking for is a 90% reduction in body roll and a 10% increase in ride (a touch less soft) would shocks + sway bar be the right combination for me?

Thanks again.
