Reducing body roll W202 C280 Elegance?

[Big Dan]

Please dont say just buy a sport!

Managed to pick my baby up cheap but would like to reduce the body roll when cornering.

MB "Sport" shocks and springs? (are the springs any different?)

Would changing the spacer do anything? (Compress the spring more and does anyone know what spacer the c280 is likely to have?)

Anti-roll bar/s?

Bilstein B12 kit???

Slow down a bit?






Sorry!

Take it easy with that wall.

There'll be lots of useful advice later when they all get back from the pub, although best wait till they sober up tomorrow!

Sport springs should drop by about 30mm - an with the thinest spring pads another few mm. Should help (although its the stiffer nature of the sport spring that makes most of the difference).

Not sure if the rollbars are thicker on the sport (generally not much talk of swaping them - apart for C36/43 items occasionally).

B12 kit is normally the recommend route.

Avantgarde shocks and springs ( did they ever make an Avantgarde 202 ? )

Not on the W202 H, it was classic/esprit/elegance/sport (or AMG)

So the sports shocks and springs are both (Shocks AND springs) stiffer/uprated from the standard elegance kit as opposed to just being stiffer springs with same shocks or vice versa??

Hi

if you are looking to eliminate body roll, you should be concentrating more on the re-bound factor, and thats 90% shocks and not springs. get your shocks sorted first, and then look at different ARB'S.
