handling

Hello there, I have a Mercedes benz E-class coupe e250. I am looking to lower my car. Mercedes claims that there is nothing i can do. I found that KW and Bilstein does not support dynamic handling control. Eibach claims that the eibach sport springs are supported in dynamic handling e class...

I went around a roundabout not at any fast speed and my W209 tried to get away from me and the back end went out causing the esp to start fighting for control. The wife tells me it has happened to her yesterday. Both times it was on a damp road and I have checked the tyres for obvious wear...

Hey all. Looking at a c250 amg plus estate and was playing with config on MB site and remember seeing the optional AMG Handling pack. I can't for the life if me find it now :/ even though reviews mention it. Only listed under coupe now and instead there some Agility pack :/ Any...

Ive just seen that autocar have tested a C250 CGI coupe with the AMG handling pack. Seems to be very positive about the changes which are pretty significant for the low price of £530. So anyone ordering a C250 CDI or CGI sports plus coupe I was say this is must have option and doesnt spoil the...

Hi Guys, I've been reading the forums for the past couple of weeks as I have been looking at a c class coupé and now I feel the need to pick your brains if I could. I test drove a C Class Coupe sport plus yesterday and found it a little underwhelming in terms of both build quality and...

Hi All, Have now had my CLK 220 CDI since April and put 12k on the clock, lots of motorway / A roads and some twisty B's! From other cars I've owned / driven I'd have to say the CLK is not that great on the twisty stuff. Its a super comfortable cruiser but even then it does not like cross...

Ive got a couple of weeks before i finalise the spec for my C250 sports plus coupe and I still really undersided about the AMG handling pack. I like the idea of the quicker steering, sports exhaust etc but concerned the ride may be a fair bit harder. Thanks to Coley for his view todate but has...

Hi all, I am considering a Winter project and have got a few ideas but I would like feedback from people who have owned the following cars with respect to their handling when driven spiritedly:D Mazda MX5 Toyota MR2 Roadster BMW Z3 VW Golf GTi I seem to remebe we had one member who...

My car seems to be getting worse... At motorway speeds, the car will be fine just had the tracking done drive nice and straight, then it will steer itself into the next lane, usually left! but can go ride too... the steering will become very light, correct, over correct, then continue to go...

Hello, My links are shot, this been a while, need to replace them, but I have a wee question, the car seems to skip a bit in bumpy roads and the steering wheel feel lighter too. Like the wheels jumped off the road. I got low profile tyres, this doesn't help the bumps tho, and lately I changed...

PistonHeads Headlines - Power By AMG, Handling By DC?

Hi all, I have ordered a C-Class Coupè 250 CDI with the AMG package giving the lowered chassis, firmier suspension etc... Is anybody aware of how the Dynamic Handling package works? I know that it stiffens the hydraulics of the dampers. I am trying to understand if in sports mode it is...

Can someone with this advise what this does other than sharpen the suspension, steering and throttle responses when engaged. When it is off is the suspension at the standard Sport suspension setting or softer. I would only want it if it allowed the standard Sport suspension setting to be made...

I promise not to ask about snow tyres, but I am interested in how "chuckable" the C32 is, particularly since the roads are so greasy at the moment. Does it drift or oversteer predictably or throw you off the road with contempt!? My nerves are slightly shot from a 50:50 moment at very high...

We have a late 2009 CLK (W209) 280 Sport cab, without the speed sensitive parameter steering. I find the steering pretty heavy at low speeds and very light around centre at high speed. It definitely feels 'weird' to drive with a very detached feeling while driving straight at high speed...

Hi. My 2002 E320 CDi W210 has done 230k miles now. I am however getting a vibration from the car that varies upon speed, usually occurs when accelerating over around 40mph, is not wheel balancing, and at some speeds is like the car is bouncing. Any help appreciated. PS. I have changed the...

Is the handling/driving experience pronounced between Avantgarde and Elegance W211 E320 cdi facelift models ? I have driven several Avantgarde examples & find them quite suitable for me but have no experience of the Elegance variety. What have you found please? Splitpin

Breaking off from another thread regarding issues with my coupe. When the service manager returned my car he mentioned when you press the sport button there doesnt seem to be any change in the engine idle rpm and asked me if I noticed anything about it. To recap, my car is experiencing poor...
