I know the factory suspension on the BS is very stiff by design but every time I drive it on these LA roads it hurts my soul. Unfortunately, the roads here are crap and after living here for some time, I've learned to avoid certain roads/routes because of how awful they are. Sometimes I'll add a few extra miles/minutes just to avoid the pain both myself and the car feel when hitting some of these bumps/craters on the roads.

I know there's a thread on softening the suspension but I wanted to see what other adjustment(s) some of you may have done to your cars to help soften the driving experience. On nicer, flatter roads the car is simply perfect but those roads are few and far between in Los Angeles. Is it enough to just adjust the suspension? If so, to what spec? Is there an ideal suspension adjustment + specific tire combination that's helped? Currently running Michelin PS 4s all around. Open to any and all suggestions....except selling the car of course.

Thanks!

 

The AMG standard setup is a not enough firm for me, so I adjusted it a little. I already tried (for fun) the max settings and on road it is killing you back.
You can first try different setup on your suspensions.
The tools needed are in the trunk

 

in city (nyc) it's just in cruise mode while i watch out for pot holes always take the smoothest bridge to get home but other than that, it's a highway car

 

So you can add some "clics" to obtain softer suspensions ;-)

 

move down here in South County of OC, your cars will thank you.
