It's a good thing your German convertible has a solid suspension because it got a good workout today. So did my bowels when you nearly ran me over.
If it is the Specific German cars I think of it is going to cost them bundles of $s. Granted they are the best handling stuff out there but the suspension is actually very weak. Normal driving is high $ to keep bushings, shocks and sway bars intact. Payback will be expensive.
