Hi Guys What is the correct unladen ride height of a 2002 W210 E320CDI Avantgarde and where is this measured from ???:confused::confused::confused: Many thanks BAZZER1

Had a vito sport x a few months and I love it. Very practial plus looks and drives great. The only concern I have is the ride on bumpy road surfaces can be pretty uncomfortable. I guess this is to be expected given firm suspension and 18inch alloys but just wondered if anyone had any...

Can anyone suggest a softer compound tyre for my w210 e320cdi to get a more comfortable ride, Have checked all the normal things like suspension, spheres & shocks etc., nothing wrong with them, it just seems that the Avantgarde is a more hard ride than other type of Mercs. Advice of softer...

Which of the current MB range do you think is the most comfortable/softest ride?

Just had new front shocks replaced and the car is sitting really high, what causes this? Could the new shocks be too long?

Hello. New to the forum and new to MB ownership. Just bought a 2013 E220CDi SE (pre latest face lift) We test drove a 2009 car extensively, had it for the day in fact, and then bought a 2013 model as we wanted the 7 speed box and the revised engine. My question is regarding the subtle...

My first post! Hi everyone, I am the proud owner of my first W124 estate having searched for a good one for almost 2 years. Now of course a 'good one' according to my criteria doesn't guarantee that I have actually found a good one as I'm not a professional spanner man and I don't have any...

So............ Thought I'd decided but ..... I'm tempted to go for 19" rather than 18" wheels. E320 Advantgarde estate. Ride will be better on which?? I can see that you get more sidewall on an 18" compared to a 19" but is it very noticeable? Was looking at a BMW with 19" last night...

I currently have 255/35 ZR18 (rear) and 225/40 ZR40 (front) on my C 204 Sport. What are the implications of downsizing the wheel size with higher profile tyres? How do I go about it? Ta

Just joined forum having just brought a 2003 CLK 207 CDI.. Need advice please? Awesome car, however couple of small concerns.... 1.. Ride is a bit harsh and bumpy...not the smooth glide I assumed on a prestige luxury car... Is the cause the ultra low profile tyre/wheel combo?...they look...

I am sure this has more than likely been mentioned in the past but can anyone let me know what the ride height of a 2003 W211 Elegance E-class estate is please, Centre of wheel to wheel arch both front and rear. The car has a Witter towbar fitted and at 365mm I think it is too low. The drivers...
