One of the problems I have experienced having a bagged car is that when driving the car low and hitting bumps or smaller pot holes the control arm would hit the control tower. So discussed with several installers and static pros on what my solution would be.. The easy one is to raise the car but that's not why I get bags.. So instead I decided to cut the towers to make space for the control arm to move more.. Here is the initial result, now waiting for the car to get patched up with raised control towers and have the area repainted and take it out for some serious testing !
Big thanks to the boys in PHD shop in Shanghai !!

2016 Mercedes Benz C300 4MATIC W205
I had my W205 4Matic bagged for a couple months. Im using the AirLift Management. I like the Accuair setup you got there. Who built the bags for you? The car looks great man.

Hi Janusgrimnitz,
Very nice C class that you have here and interesting mods. Did you ever try to track the car?
I'm also in Shanghai, drives a C63 AMG w204. I'm more focusing on mods for track days (when to SIC last Saturday) but still keeping balance to be able to ride the car on roads.
Could you please share the name and location of your tune shop?
I'm looking for brake and coilover upgrades. Airbags is not suitable for me as I need to keep space in the trunk; I was considering KW DDC or similar setup.

I'm looking at doing the same on my W213 E300 - Getting the Acuair Module would be the move there. Trying to find if I can get a pancake tank to fit in the spare tire well because I am on Runflats anyway. What did the suspension setup and install cost you up until now?
