ride comfort, actually comfortable

hepcat · 02-11-2011, 05:15 PM

I fully expect to be ostracized for this post so bring it.... I have an 11 with zcp and I ride a lot of ladies in my M. I have been told the suspension ride is not the best. Can anyone recommend a kit for zcp/edc that will give the comfort setting a softer feel but still allow sport and sport plus to be track worthy?

don't think there are any softer springs available. softer tires and/or less air pressure in your tires is about as much as you can do. you'd be surprised what a difference 2 psi can make for ride comfort. tire wear, gas mileage and performance will all suffer as a result.

Could always sell your 19" zcp wheels for some 18" wheels. Should help a little.

Or keep some duct tape in the car when these ladies are talking too much, YOUR ride comfort will be much improved.

Seriously, 18" wheels and touring-class tire will make a big difference.

You will be giving up grip, but sounds like you don't care.

Sounds like you bought the wrong car, or you need different woman friends.

you need 335i w/o sport package. women will love the ride quality and the comfy seats.

I was about to say, the 335i w/ sport package doesn't ride nearly as comfortable as the M3 w/ EDC. Haven't driven the ZCP but shouldn't ride that differently then w/o.

Maybe you just need different girls. Starts at 2:25...

It's possible that the ladies he knows would respond positively if the OP got some driving lessons from Tiff.

Altering your car at the expense of a female. A wife? maybe but she better have plenty of dough herself. Don't even go there man. As long as you enjoy your ride, you tell them kindly to STFU, or get out.
