Sports suspension, how?

[Mickyh7]

Hi, C300d, AMG Line, 9 speed, R/W/Drive, 2019.
My car has Sports and Sports+.
Amongst other things, it changes/stiffens the suspension.
How?
Is it a solenoid on a coil over, or does it revalve the oil in the shockers?
I'm sure it doesn't have 'Air Suspension'.
What changes, what does the work?
Thanks.

I don't know for sure, but would say that the dampers (shock absorbers) are electronically adjustable. My car also has Sport and Sport+, but as far as I know, doesn't have adjustable suspension.

My 2012 C350 has the Dynamic Handling Package that, amongst other things, allows firmer suspension. There are electronic gizmos on top of each shock absorber (damper) that presumably do the job. I don't know, but should think it's coilover.

There's more than my suspension stiffens up when I go sports+ in the GLC 350 .

God knows what it's like in a 35 or 45 ..

From what I've seen it's pretty bog standard suspension with an electronic valve at the base that either works with oil or air . Pretty sure you need the switch for dynamic . If there's electrical connections on your struts ,you can be certain it's the adjustable kind .

Same as my GLC and if you go into the settings to change things , the suspension isn't one of them , just the gearbox, steering and climate control are . +1 for post count soon I'll be a master.

Come on Mate.
Your first words were 'I don't know'.
Don't try and make me look like a Trunt with your Skywards looking eyes!
People who generally have the most to say, say the least!

The mighty C250d AMG Line S205 Premium Plus suspension feels as if it stiffens up in Sport and +. But it is not shown on the settings parameters.

It is if you have Airmatic.
