Suspension and hopping over bumps
Hi,
I have noticed when pressing on, if there is a little bump on the corner the car feels like it hops a little and the DTC flashes. Is this normal for e92s? Admittedly the roads near me arent brillaint, but my old Evo 6 had coilovers and didnt hop. Is this a tell tail sign of worn suspension components? Its generally quite a good ride for the most part. Cheers |

If you are flooring it over bumps with DTC off (traction control on) this is pretty common. You are just getting a bit of slip between the rear wheels. Press the DTC button and it will go away. There is a bit of road by me with a little camber and had a slightly rough surface due to some minor potholes until till they filled them. Every time i went over these bumps DTC would flash even at 30mph.

M Sport suspension with run-flats is a pretty horrible ride on the bumps. It does feel juddery at times.
You compare with an Evo VI, but remember this car weighs 250-300kg more and is RWD. It will never grip like an Evo. |

before you spend change the rfts to non rfts and then judge from there whether you want more grip etc because the difference between rfts and non rfts is like chalk and cheese...its that much of a difference!
