M performance suspension and diffuser installed

So far I have done 3 mods to the car..

1. Installed Michelin 4S tires
2. M Performance Suspension (OEM)
3. M Rear diffuser (OEM)

2 and 3 give the car a fresh look and feel. The rear looks more aggressive and the stance is slightly lowered with minimal wheel/fender gap.

Next I am planning to install the black grills. Already got them in my garage.

I have a 2014 as well and the M Performance suspension is an absolute must for anyone with the M Sport suspension. I've been waiting for my S001s to wear down before I replace my tires, though.

Did you do the tires before or after the suspension? I'm considering either PSS or PS4S and I'm curious to know your thoughts about the difference in ride quality.

I had both the PSS and PS4S before the suspension install. If you are deciding between the two then I think both are equally good. PSS is a little more stiff and noisier compared to PS4S. You can hardly tell the difference, unless you go to track you will be happy with both.

PS4S is more suitable for daily driving due less noise and more comfy ride but at the same time providing outstanding grip. Also I think steering feels slightly better with PS4S with 38 Psi in front and 39 Psi rear. Try to keep both front and rear pressures close and the car will rotate around corners much better.

Yes that M performance suspension totally changes the personality and in my opinion the best mod you can do to the car.

Did you go for the stock tyre sizes or change them for wider tyres?
