Loving my new e-class but as a chauffeur I'd like to soften the ride a bit. Any tips? It has 18" rims, but changing them isn't really an option (car is on contract hire). James

Hi All, Wanted to ask if anyone has any experience with this? I am interested in getting my 124 coupe to sit right - the problem is that my mind changes on what this is every day. So it seems what may suit me is air ride suspension. Having driven other Mercedes with air suspension...

I appreciate subjective, the cars are somewhat old now, but in stock condition (W124 estate / W126 saloon / W140 or C140) which of these has the best ride? I am selling my Alpina as I have just taken out a brand new tyre and a refurbished alloy on a local pothole (of which there are numerous)...

Fitted these just to get a slightly lower stance to go with my new set of 19s. Going for basically 2 fingers between the wheels/arches. Was slightly more than 3 fingers, so looking at 20-25mm drop. Don't understand why although all the links were set the same adjustment, the car didn't drop the...

Am I right in thinking the front wheel-centre to wheel-arch should be 15" and the rear 15.5". I have front just right and rear at 13.5" has had the shocks done on rear but seems to me the coil springs needed doing also. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know roughly how much lower a W202 C230K Sport sits than a non sport model? I want to fit new shocks and springs but all the kits I've found (kits seem to be the cheapest way) offer up to 40mm lowering. I'm guessing that's 40mm lower than a STANDARD model rather than a sport. Is that...

I've had my W221 2008 S320 for almost a year now and over the past few months I've noticed a harsher and firm ride. I can feel all the bumps in the road and it feels like the dampening/absorbing components are not doing their job. When I go over bumps slowly, I can hear a sound, its hard to...

As above had a awesome day at Mercedes Benz world, finally got to have a ride in a e63, As someone on here described it very well "Brutal Crushing Relentless Acceleration" lol totally loved it and im in desparate need to find myself a e55k lol I can now see what all the fuss is about :rock:

I've had numerous cars and driven many more, from track biased to luxo barges. I find my C350 CDI saloon Sport quite harsh in terms of comfort, but without the handling benefits. I reckon the springs rates are too high and the dampers don't seem to react to road irregularities well enough. Too...

My 2001 210 Elegance E class Estate now feels a bit like an old agricultural bus, ride quality seems to have deteriorated in the last 12mths or so, especially compared to my 1997 C240 Elegance (120K ) and the CLK 430 avantgarde at 90k . Its not been neglected and the ride problem " seems "...

Hi, Apologies if this has already been covered but would be grateful for any assistance please. I previously owned a 2001 S Class 320 CDI and found it absorbed bumps and potholes effortlessly. I changed if 12 months ago for the newer shape model (2006) and whilst I love the car, (also...

Just bought a 1998 SL320 with 27k on the clock . Took it to Scotland and in a week did 1k miles , it previously having done 1k in nearly 5yrs. Problem: the ride was excessively bouncy (think Zeberdy on Magic Roundabout) on many country roads and even on motorways to a lessor extent ...

Looking at a merc to buy e280cdi sport and have notice that the front passengers side sits a bit higher that the drivers side im wondering if u guys have came across this before? Im thinking maybe spring has broke in the past and replace with a standard one rather than a sport spring ehat u...

Hi There. Thought I would look at lowering the car a little. I know there are units out there but producing my own is more enjoyment. I have found the front height controls (under the wheel arches) but are having trouble locating the rear unit. I am either going to manufacture new length 6mm...
