A VERY good suspension can give a good ride and good handling, but to have an exrtemely good ride or extremely good handling you have to sacrifice the other to some extent. To soak up bumps you have to have soft suspension, which make the car more mushy in torns. To have solid handling the suspension must be more firm, making the ride more harsh. The key is to find the right compromise.
