custom drivers front floormat

two shops have now told me that the suspension is fine, and that the rough ride is normal.

In an effort to reduce the feel of these impacts in the cabin and especially through the dead pedal, im putting some neoprene on the dead pedal under the carpet.

However, Id like to have a custom floormat made that has a section to cover the dead pedal.

Does anyone know of a place that does this kind of custom mat?

Thanks

Oliver

normal?Are you running 19's on bad shocks on bad roads?These cars ride like butter,unless the extremes are involved as above you should have a smooth ride quality.Find better shops

the 4 matic front suspension is quite a bit different.

Two highly recommended shops have told me that the shocks are like new, the lca bushings and the ball joints are perfect, and the remaining components (swaybar bushings, springs, etc) are fine.

Typically shops that are shady don't turn down work.
