Upsize the tires on the MYP to something more reasonable and the ride becomes a 6.25 (using the scale above).Yes. Say for ex. 10 is filling loosening stiff and 1 is Caddy heaven, the MYP is 8 and the LR is 6. That said the dampers will loosen up a tiny bit when they are broken in, tiny tiny bit.
Yea but I dunno about a two point drop. The problem with the Tesla damping is it's high amount of low speed bump compression and cheats like using tall bump stops as extra spring rate. They really should just bring someone in who knows how to tune heavy ass cars like the guru who did the chassis tuning on the Veyrons, specifically what he achieved on the SS.Upsize the tires on the MYP to something more reasonable and the ride becomes a 6.25 (using the scale above).
Is the MYP really rougher ride compared to MYLR? Or is it pretty close and hard to notice?
Agreed on that stretch of highway and the DFW area in general. We drove it (20, to Shreveport) last summer in a Highlander and it was pretty awful, can't imagine what it would have been like in the MYP.I agree with all of the above observations.
I contend that the most important part of this discussion is the regional differences of road quality. I know I sound like a broken record, but...the DFW regions is notorious for its aging concrete roadways. (ditto for driving west of Little Rock, AR, and I20 through Shreveport, LA) Uneven concrete slabs in some areas are absolute nightmares for ANY car. That said, I modified with MPP coilovers, which have tamed the often uncontrolled feeling of the stock LR suspension. Expansion cracks can still be quite harsh, but much less than stock.
I can't imagine driving a MYP on many of these roads. I just don't like the feeling that the car itself is getting beaten to death.
125MPH: if your daily drive is on aging surfaces, I'd recommend avoiding the MYP, staying with 19" or even 18", and strongly consider budgeting for the MPP coilovers. Single data point, for sure.
So true …sold my STI to Tesla for the MYP so much better and quiet.I have noticed no issues at all with the ride quality of the MYP. We have sports cars and two Priuses as comparison vehicles. This thing rides like a Cadillac compared to our WRX. It may depend on what you are coming from and are used to driving. I have put over 5k miles on the MYP in 5 weeks, and drive mostly on awful urban streets.
To be fair, Subaru is absolutely clueless when it comes to suspension tuning, hell even STI is crap. Their idea of tuning is to export damping settings from Japan which has one of the smoothest road surfaces in the world. And Subarus don't handle great instead they have super high levels of grip. Ppl often confuse the two. For a decade after the first WRX's came out all we got were JDM coilovers and they all sucked ass. It took another decade before they realized suspension tuning in the US is a whole different ball of wax. Thank gawd KW came out with their V3 line up, saved the subie community from crap JIC and Teins... lol.I have noticed no issues at all with the ride quality of the MYP.
