My Ride: 530D SPORT MEDIA PACKAGE, SITTING ON 19'S

i have been pushing the car lately and feel that it lets go to quickly but that could also be the tyres as i am running the runflats on the 172's 19''

The original Sports suspension gives good comfort.
If you are ready to give that up, then go ahead and lower it.
Also the risk of hitting the bottom of the chassis in speedbumps etc.
grows largely if you lower it further.
I wouldn't.

I had a sport coupe and it ground out quite often.
How do you feel about just dumping the runflats - I reckon a nice new set of tyres would help... look at gizze's post:
