Feedback on M Performance Suspension
I just got it installed 2 days back and still breaking it in. The car drives fantastic! It actually feels more comfortable and stiff at the same time. Body roll is almost gone. The steering on-center feel is tight and solid and that weird vague feeling is now gone. Having Michelin's Pilot 4S also makes a difference in handling. What's most impressive is the way the suspension handles dips/bumps. The car just glides over.
Definitely recommended!

Next mod is to replace chrome grills with black ones and add a rear M performance diffuser.

Car looks awesome!
Did you get the MP4S tires when you got the new suspension, or did you have those tires with the base suspension ? |

I had PSS before and now 4S, both on stock sport suspension. They did improve the ride from a 5/10 to a 7/10 rating, IMO. But the car still felt loose and vague. The M Perf suspension took it to a new level. I rate the ride a 9.5/10 now. Only complaint is that steering doesn't feel that different in Sport mode and feels almost same as comfort. However the steering does feel significantly better than stock, I mean significantly! It feels tight and no more vagueness, handles dips/bumps like a breeze. Car handles great with minimal to none body roll in normal turns. Chassis feels stiff and taut, reminds me of E90. I almost went from selling the car to now wanting to keep it for another 3-4 years at least, that's how much I love the ride now.

I love the drop and ride of the M performance suspension as well!
If you put the car in sport mode the steering should get heavier.

Could be due to the tires or roads that I am driving on...
