I've been reading about the suspension upgrade here for quite some time, seen some of the posts describing the process ... but, while the process was covering the V6 model I don't think the V8 has been covered ... at least regarding the part numbers
my observations after 2k miles with a 2009 V8:
- I do find the steering behavior to be "loose" ... harsh is something I don't mind, but not loose
- back end is indeed bouncy as some described, and I did observe that when hauling some 200lbs of tiles in the trunk the car behaved much more stable (tar joints on the highway seemed smoother, bouncing was gone and even the overall handling has improved
but to the point - did somebody upgrade his 2009 V8 suspension, if so could you describe the process and list the part numbers required.
and yes, I did compare my 2009 against a 2010/11 V8 genesis testdrive
