Options to tighten her up.

OK, either my bushings have been replaced or check out fine. Still, this E55 is loosy loose around the corners. Not bad, but I am accustomed to a bit less body roll and a little more response. Tried playing with the tire pressures to help with the understeer this car exhibits to no avail. Difficult to believe that so little options are available for this car in terms of suspension and sways, and wider rear tires did not help matters much. Going to try wider fronts to see if that helps any, but the body roll is another matter.

Any thoughts?

Yeah, wider front tires help big time. The new w212 e63 amg have 255 wide tires.
