Suspension

Hello,
First proper post
I have a2011 hse sport and love it apart from one thing, ride is great on smooth and bumpy roads but shock absortion isn't the best I've been in, when doing a demo we also tried the disc 4 which was a more comfortable ride which is the ride we prefered but prefered everything else about the sport, just demo'd the range rover and the ride is fantastic compared to sport , i know its a long shot but has anyone had the dynamics adjusted on the sport? or even fitted disco suspension? I am aware that ride hieght can be adjusted but its a softer ride I'd like,
Any sugestions would be appreciated
Thanks George

Mine did that , Tighten the main tail gate by adjusting the ring the lid pulls down on, this pulls the boot lid tighter on the seals if its the same as I experianced. Also a can of silicone spray of boot wax on seals including the doors gets rid of any sqeeks you might get after there is more presure on the seals

RRS ride on much lower profile tyres, whereas Discos and FFRRs are often on 55 profile tyres which make a huge difference to the ride. I have changed to 45 profile on 20" rims against 40 profile which has produced a ride quality that is nearly as good as the D3 I had before.
Then, under warranty, having both arc bars replaced plus drop links, followed by several weeks later having these re-torqued stopped the suspension knocks front and rear. Fingers crossed, 8000 miles later all remains quiet underneath, and the new set up has produced a ride quality that is close to Disco spec!

Thanks for that, I'm currently looking at some 19 inch wheels on ebay which I was going to fit some 55 profile tyres on, I dont get any Knocking though, suspension is perfect for rattles just a little harder than 'd like, its done 16 k know and never had a problem with the car at all, I'd fit 18's on it but from what i've read they won't fit over the calipers?

Out of interest, what tyres did you select?

Are the arc arms and drop lincs simply a replacement as orininal ones or different type/setting
