I recently just got my Mach e GT 2023, coming from an ST 2019 Explorer and I've loved the car so far. However, my family, friends, and I have noticed the suspension doesn't feel too great. It rides smoothly on roads without any issues, mainly highways, however, the bumps feel incredibly impactful on bad roads especially if you are sitting in the back row.

So, my question is this; I fully bought the car so is it possible for me to somehow mod/change the suspension and make it ride smoother without impacting anything major on the mach e's performance (Range, speed, torque, etc)?

FYI, I know the GTPE has magneride, but I really disliked the design of the interior hence why I didn't decide to get the GTPE.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or thoughts!

Are your tire pressures correct? Smaller diameter wheels with taller profile tires will soften the ride but will have an effect on handling.

Definitely look into the thread on using Konis in the rear. ??
