Stiffer Suspension

Remove this ad
Two Questions:

Is there a way to make the sport setting even stiffer?

Is there a way to make the car start up in Sport mode every time?

Back story:
I did the landing gear suspension on my 05 and got sick of the thump sound from the hard bushings in the rear and sick of the squeeks from the front (i live in seattle and when it would get wet, which in seattle is does quite often, it would squeek against the rubber gromet in front). Oh and i was sick of blowing shocks and yes i only went with the 550lb ones reccomneded with the stock shocks. Thus, i am a bit burned out on the "upgraded" springs route and wondering if there is a way to make the ride stiffer w/o changing the springs.

Re: Stiffer Suspension

I am not sure if there is a way to adjust the dampening for MRC.
