Hi MB friends! My rear springs have bought it after the princely record of 160,000 miles of UK speed bumps :bannana: The VIN decodes as having the u49 sport pack, which has the bits and bobs I can see (bumper, wheels, exhaust tip etc). My mechanic reckons we need to order in the ML55 AMG rear...

Hi Guys, bit of background first. Changed the pads ad disks on all 4 corners yesterday. Fronts a piece of piddle - easiest brakes Ive ever worked on - both fronts done in less than an hour. rears - straight forward enough, a bit more time consuming due to messing with the parking shoes...
