H&R Sport springs/Bilstein Sport shocks/struts all the way around. Racing Dynamics adjustable 22/16 sways. 17" e34 M5 wheels with 225/45/17 Falken Azenis tires.

The car is now firm, but not rough. It does get a bit jarring when I hit those larger "construction zone" style bumps, but I honestly think most of the harshness can be attributed to those super-stiff sidewalls on the Falkens.

for a street car,the Bilstein sports are a bit stiff.Always were.The HDs are far better on a street car,and handle almost as well as the sport shocks,which have less travel,which is why your car is stiff at times.
