lowering links\lowering module - personally dont think it makes the handling much better but makes it look a little better.

you have to remember its a big car!

Switch from Airmatic to a coil-over setup

Switch from Airmatic to a coil-over setup

I think that is the most worthwhile way to go to improve handling. Thats assuming you dont mind loosing the adaptability and comfort of the airmatic.

I think the airmatic is great for comfort and ok for my handling needs. The sport 1 setting is the best overall I find. Sports 2 setting I just find has a stange feel to it. But Like Alps says its a large car and always will be.

Having taken my car out on an airfield with a racing driver, the chap was very impressed at how well setup the car was as is.

Having been taught the finery of getting the car round a track quickly - I completely underestimated the ability of the car...

I'm not sure you need to do anything - unless you want to change the looks.
