The bump steer is something new to the R56. Neither of my R53s suffer from that. I've wanted to upgrade but I keep hearing about too many problems with the R56s. Guess I'll have to wait for the next generation. With only 3 cylinders that is 25% less things to go wrong.

Would swaybar + adjustable lower control arms equate to the same goodness? Whats the difference results wise between the arms and the plates? Both give the ability to adjust camber, so what am i missing?

edit: Nevermind your talking about the front. My bad.

Bump steer is a geometry issue. All Struts have bump steer. Read Fred Punn's book How To Make Your Car Handle. He will explain. Lowering will usually make it worse.

[quote=Dr Obnxs;3006855]When the Panamera came out, I too hated it. But at the SF Auto Show, I got to spend a bunch of time in the car. It's really, really well done. You'd be shocked at how much rear space is in the car. No, it's not a 911 or a Cayman, but for what it is, it's shockingly good.

We have installed about 8 sets of 22" wheels on our Panamaras and it really transform the look of the car. One Client of mine just did the Texas Mile in his Pana Turbo with 22" on it. 168mph in the standing mile is pretty good for a boat!
