road trip

I was just driving back from Edmonton to Calgary late last night on the 2, wife fell asleep, so am 660 was on the radio... I had the cruise set to 110.. since it was very quiet and relaxed I guess I could notice just how horrible the ride quality of the oem suspension is on my car... I felt every bump on that road, lots of interior noises, and not a comfortable ride all in all... Is this highway that bad and our cars can only due so much, or is the oem suspension not designed for driving in the Prairies??? ok got that off my chest, sorry for the rant.... Really Really got to change out my whole suspsension, thinking of doing this
kw comfort coilovers
kw front and rear anti sway bars.
front / rear tension arm bushings front position control arm. rear position control arm
Not sure if iam gonna need a camber kit or any additional bushing, if anyone wants to chime in and let me know that would be much appreciated.... Gonna buy new unless a member has any of the above to sell... other wise fcp euro / or esc tuning will be my go to shop

It's best to ask a few questions first before suggesting a course of action:

- Wheels: 17, 18, 19, or 20"
- xDrive?
- M Adaptive suspension?
- RFT tires?
