- I've got to credit Dubai_86 as the first white/saddle brown/aero for inspiring this choice, personally. He has the style 128s but a few members followed with the 214s and that helped me as well.

- We don't have what you call "active ride" here, but if you mean the sport suspension, it wasn't extremely noticeable but I did notice the harshness of the bumps slightly between sport and non-sport activated (button near the shifter). I kept it on sport because well.. that's what this car is made for. But if it's off, the difference isn't huge.

What noise from the front suspension? Haven't heard of this happening.
