View Full Version : who has Magnetic Ride? Is it worth it? USP 07-19-2007, 09:17 AM Troy H 07-19-2007, 09:35 AM Chef S. 07-19-2007, 09:37 AM You will get variying responces... Some are HUGE FANS of it. Other's think while it does add a diffrence, its not huge, especially 1400 dollars worth...and others feel that 1400 is much better suited toward a real suspension like Stasis etc. My thoughts? The 3.2TTs that I tested had it...they also had 18" wheels. There was a diffrence with it on and off, no doubt about it. However it was not a BIG enough diffrence for me. I also had to take into consideration that I was driving on 235/40 tires on 18". I ordered S-Line which gives you 255/35/19's...more grip, lower profile, +1 rim size....I cannot say for certianty but I would imagine the small diffrence that I felt with Mag Ride on 18s will all but be made up with 255/19s. So I chose aginst it. If I really want something dynamic...then Stasis already has stuff in the works.... zerinS4 07-19-2007, 09:46 AM TTravler 07-19-2007, 10:59 AM I did test drive with and with out, and while I did see a difference it was not that great in my opinion or worth the $. I now have my 3.2 without and I don't regret it at all. I love the way the car handles and rides. I may go with an aftermarket set up further down the road, but as of right now I see no reason to change a thing.

I've never owned a car where I didn't modify the suspension at one point - whether it be shocks/springs, coilovers etc. I was definitely impressed with the Mag Ride and only change i'd make is to install a set of Euro S-line 20mm lower OEM springs.
