Anyone else find the standard MSport suspension too...
nervous, too bouncy on local roads? And that’s even with regular P7 tires. Just wondering what you might think. Thanks.

I have 704 on 19 inch RFTs.
"Too nervous, too bouncy"? No. Noticeably stiffer than a non 704 on 18 inch RFTs? Yes, very much so.

I am highly satisfied with my 704 MSport suspension. I prefer a suspension to be on the sporty-stiffer side. I am on the OEM staggered 19" summer rft's. I do try and take it easy on pot holes and speed bumps. I intentionally did not order the 20" wheels in hope of better ride quality and less risk of wheel damage.
The DHP option would be a slightly softer suspension, higher ride height, and would electronically adjust out some road imperfections.

It is definitely stiffer than non MSport suspension, around town the standard suspension is rather better at soaking up bumps, but around the corners with more spirited driving the MSport suspension is noticeably better. I don't really ever push my car at all but even in moderate driving there's definitely a difference. Can't say I've found the ride annoyingly harsh or overly bouncy though - its just a firm set up. Does what it says on the tin in my view as they say!

My wife has the 530 ix and I’ve got the Msport 540ix with the suspension and brakes. Definitely the Msport suspension is stiffer and Transfers more road feel but the car handles so much better. In comfort mode my car is totally fine. In sport mode on bad twisty roads it can be unsettled at speed. I switch to comfort and reduce Speed and no issue. My wife’s car is a Luxe comfort ride. She prefers hers and I prefer
