I know this doesn't help, but I have it with 18's and the ride is pretty harsh. Sometimes I could swear the tires are the only thing dampening. I can't imagine 20's on that suspension.

I have 405Ms with M performance suspension, its not bad at all to be honest. You might want to think twice about it if you have ordinary roads though.

Damn! I just ordered the suspension kit and this is not very nice to hear!! Based on other reviews, I was under the impression that ride is stiffer but not harsh.

What kind of roads would you say you drive on?
Also, what tires are you using? RFTs?

I never thought it will be harsh at all. More on the stiff side.

Would NOT recommend 20's...ride would be unbearable.

Here are a bunch of pics of Msport F30's on M performance suspension and OEM 405 20" wheels courtesy of Jason. Only the pics of the car at the fleet drive are on M performance suspension. 20's and M performance suspension look awesome!

Hi There- new to the Forum here. Just got myself the 405Ms- wondering if you can give me any recommendations on Tyre Pressures. I'm running 38 PSI all round and seem to have awful handling.

Cheers

maybe in the east coast they are harsh? I'm running 20s on stock sportline suspension and ride is much much smoother compared to the stock 18" RFTs.

Sportline is different from M Performance.

Rallybull did you got your suspension yet? Did you install it?

Yes, had the suspension installed last week. Ride is definitely much stiffer. But at the same time the car feels so much more confident on the road.

I'm planning to swap out my RFTs to regular tires to help a bit with the comfort.
