I can't tell you how much grief my wife has given me over my decision to lower my S550. In her defense, I've lowered my last 3 cars and made all of them to the point she hated to ride in them. The last one I even tried 2 sets of springs and 3 damper solutions. It got a "barely livable" rating from her on the final setup on that car.
I just got the Steeda Progressive lowering springs installed, along with the front and rear sway bars with billet mounts. I've heard others here say good things so we were optimistic, well at least I was. I think I may have over-sold it just a little based on comments I heard. It didn't completely get rid of the bumps but they are much better. I'm not talking about bumps like bridge buckles, they are VERY nice now, way better than stock. I'm talking about the aggravating bouncing my EB PP had just riding down the highway. I'm not saying it doesn't bounce, it's still there but better. That alone to me is AMAZING! I lowered the car, the handling is FANTASTIC now AND at the same time, the ride got BETTER! I gotta say I'm still SHOCKED! I was to the point that I just believed that with the reduced spring travel you will always have a rougher ride. The fact that my wife actually likes the ride better now to me is INVALUABLE! It means that spending money for the next mod will bring less scrutiny.
The car looks so much better lowered. I can't really say how much of the handling is attributable to the springs since I did the sway bars at the same time but the combination is just fantastic! Thank you David@Steeda for the recommendations! :cheers:
