I recently made the move from a '13 Q5 3.0 to a '15 SQ5 and overall I love it.

However, I have 2 gripes: 1. I wish the exhaust was a little louder (nothing an AWE exhaust can't change) and 2. the ride quality.

My 3.0 had 20" wheels and ADS, I really wish ADS would have been an option. I would compare my SQ5's ride to the Dynamic setting, which I only used during spirited driving.

I've tried playing with the air pressure in the tires and it helped a little but it's still a little rough.

Curious if anyone has found an option (besides changing out the wheels) that has made an improvement in ride quality? Are the springs/shocks in the 3.0 (non-ADS) the same as the SQ5? Before I got it, I thought I would for sure lower it, but now, I don't think I could handle even a rougher ride.

Thanks in advance, Cheers.

You could try wheel spacers.... In addition to give a better stance, spacers will reduce the suspension effective spring rate.

Thank you for the feedback. I've actually never heard of that. I will give it a shot. Any recommendations on good spacers for the SQ5?

ecstuning is what most guys have here. unless you want to go with H&R spacer. But I dont think they have all the size.
