Arnott MR4262 for replacing front Magneride Z95 suspension info

[Carfan]

My 2020 Suburban Premier (with MRC) never floated over bumps and road imperfections. But instead, from the first day I noticed that it absorbed them really well.

I was driving a 12 year old X5 (which we now keep at our vacation home). The BMW has always had more of a European sports feel and our Suburban matches that.

One friend has a 2021 Range Rover and it definitely floats. There's not a lot of movement -- but there is also almost no sensation of the road.

You feel the road with our Suburban, it just feels solid and planted.

Thanks for the feedback. This car definitely handles better than it should for it's size. My thinking is that the Arnott springs must be stiffer, since it offers an almost 2 inch lift for the fronts (I just measured today again) I just remember the first time I drove it with the OEM springs and blown shocks, my wife was passenger was able to put on makeup pretty easily. After the arnotts, it's like riding in my 2000 BMW M5. I know, the makeup test can be subjective ha. I have a spring compressor, so Ill take it out and swap the arnott springs with stock ones. just a few hours of work to satisfy my curiosity. I wonder if there's a more scientific way to measure the ride quality before and after the install.
