Hi,
Have done 5000 km in my new S4 STX and disappointed with ride. Seems quite 'thumpy' esp in rear and makes ride rather uncomfortable. Went from Brisbane to Roma and back this week and didnt enjoy the trip at all. Very happy with vehicle otherwise. Have played with tyre pressures, a little weight in back and still not right. I appreciate it is a 4WD and will ride more firmly than a sedan. Do you think going up to 17" wheels has made a difference? Are the standard shocks not up to scratch? I have been recommended old man emu modification at $2100 to improve ride, handling and height. I dont mind spending this if it really does improve things, and does not affect warranty. Any advice appreciated - thanks in advance.
Chris
