SBH-

Buddies! hey there.

Just wanted to ask you guys, what would you suggest to install if I want to lower my C63 to give it a better stance.

Springs or coil overs or what exactly? And if so, what brand would you pick? I'm a bit confused, many pics around, and each one looks just as good ...

inputs please?

KW adjustable springs, keeps the functionality of the suspension modes and you can dial the stance to exactly what you want. I have them currently on order will be installed in the car Aug 10th. I can send upload photos then. Hard item to find as it's only on the German KW site right now.

U have a link for those? I always thought they removed the dynamic settings from the car!

Interesting.

SBH-

So I would still be able to choose from the dynamics (c, s, s+)? that's exactly what I'm looking for. Also, I would have the freedom to adjust the stance whenever I want, unlike installing springs only right?

btw, what about Weistec? know anything bout 'em?

I've talked to two KW dealers, showed them that exact link and they both tell me that they don't work and that they don't have any height adjustable springs for our vehicles yet! WTF. Would love to see them installed, there is another member in Australia who said he had them installed?

LFM_Vancouver

Local KW told me the same thing with my GLA45 AMG. They said no V3's available yet. German site had them, ordered them, installed them perfectly. Planning the same thing with my C63s. Ill post an update Aug 11t after I have them installed.

SBH-

make sure to set a reminder , lol. Will be waiting for your update bro.

but weird, cuz I talked to the dealer over here and he said I can order the springs for the W205 c63, they fit. I'm not talking about the v3's, just the adjustable springs, assuming same as the ones attached above.

Really interested in this too... based in Brisbane, Australia. Local dealer said nothing on their system.

Eagerly awaiting your install Hoping it all goes well.

Cheers,

I have the Wesitec adjustable suspension. Check out my thread with before and after pictures with the stock wheels and my new ones.

How is the ride quality compared to stock?

Scarafin

Would love to know this too... can anyone who has installed these give us their opinion pretty please

SBH-

the dealer of Weistec over here told me that the Weistec might create some sound when you ride a speed hump or if the road is a bit rough. He recommended the KW Springs, the same ones LFM_Vancouver has on order.

I'm waiting for him to install them and tell us more about them (appearance, ride quality etc..)

godrealm06

Ride quality is fine. I don't remember too much about my stock ride but I do know it wasn't made worse for adding the new suspension. Road still feels good. I've driven through bumpy roads just be careful going over bumps or you'll hit the bottom of the car. Gotta take bumps real slow. Plenty of clearance in the back. I'm always driving in Sports + so I'm use to the stiff suspension.

LFM_Vancouver

The springs are now installed, works perfect with the MB suspension settings. Only down side is you cant adjust the camber, so car has a fair bit of camber now. It looks great though. Order these springs guys they are an awesome option instead of coilovers.

SBH-

Nice! I like the stance, looks good! But what about the cambers, didnt get you on that.

+ did you hear anything about it affecting the shocks over a long period? My friend is good with these things and he told me springs alone will hurt the shocks over the long period, so he made me think twice... ughh

Any thoughts guys?

PunjabiM3

Which "springs" did you get? The KW height adjustable suspension (not KWV3)? Or are they just springs, i.e. H&R, Eibach, etc? How is the ride quality compared to stock?

LFM_Vancouver

The ones I posted earlier in this thread, only available from KW Germany right now. Ride is stiffer than stock but still WELL within what I would call comfortable.....considering it is an AMG..

JPMBenz

The shocks don't fair well over time with a shorter spring. That is why I will probably order the KW V3's...

SBH-

So you say dont go for the springs alone and pull the trigger for the V3s? Only problem is that i wont be tracking my car so the guy over here told me if not gonna track then the V3 might be too much.. ? Lost here...

JPMBenz

I wouldn't say a V3 is just for track usage. I would know that MB shocks overall aren't designed to work with shorter springs.

LFM_Vancouver

I've had V3's on all my cars so far, overkill if you ask me, these adjustable springs are a great option. Plus I never keep my cars long enough to worry about suspension wearing out.....

JPMBenz

What's the drop on the springs?
