FX35 vs FX50s suspension - what's the difference

[themadnewfie]

Hey Everyone

Currently taking a hard look at buying a 2013 FX50s (low k's) and I'd love to hear opinions from anyone that has driven the 50s and any of the 09-13 FX35's

My current daily driver is a 09 FX35 and it really rides and handles great

From what I can read the S will have 21's and a firmer suspension setup - while I don't mind it being firmer I'm not a huge fan of it being harsh

Also this car has rear wheel steering .. And would appreciate anyone's feedback on how that might impact ride quality

Hey man, mine is the qx70 with adaptive suspension and 21 inch wheels . I keep it in auto for the most part putting it in sports will definitely provide alot more road feedback on bumps.

The 35 pulls higher skid pad numbers than the 50. I guess slightly lighter and closer to 50/50 weight split.

I can't comment on the specifics. I have. 35 and am looking for a 50 without rear steer. The 50s are rare enough, dealing with magnetic suspension and a rear steering mechanism aren't something I want to do.
