I am wondering why so many users seemingly get aftermarket struts/shocks and springs? The only time I see this necessary are if you want to lower your car, if you have a non-sport bimmer or if you track the car.

However I have pushed my car hard through the years and the handling has no body roll with ars, can take corners like on rails and best of allh the ars allows a super soft ride and comfy ride even with good stiff sport suspension and high psi tiers or funflats. The decoupling of the sway bars with ars when going straight leads to MUCH more compliant ride.

anyway this is all with sport suspension--so what gives, it is high quality suspension componenents from sachs who builds racing suspension in germany...

With your past history of attention to detail, I don't think you should chance it. I would stick with what the factory offers.


For the rest of us....

I was trying to be nice...

After reading some of your post, the likely hood of you being satisfied with anything after-market is slim to none. I'm surprised you are even happy with anything you have to begin with. Stick with what works for you.

I agree. with sports package and ars, I see no need to change out parts. the system works great.
