2009 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Santorini Black

Hard suspension

I find the ride a bit harsh on my sport.

Is there any way to soften the suspension ?

I'm really surprised it does not have adjustable suspension. 2009 3.6 TDV8 HSE Santorini Black

What size wheels do you have as that could effect the firmness of the ride, eg if you have 22" wheels.
Could be worth checking the 4x4 information screen and seeing if all is in order with regard to your suspension.

Mine has standard and Dynamic suspension modes for driving, dynamic being a little firmer, but by no means uncomfortable. ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Sounds normal then, have you been in other RRS's to compare
Given the electronic air suspension, I doubt there is anything to make the ride softer, but someone else more knowledgable might know better:thumbsup: ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

I have the same car and I also found it firmer than expected. guess I have become used to it and I dont notice it so much now.

I did notice someone (and I can't find the post) someone is changing for 20' to 18' to soften the ride.
