C180K SS .
People With Sport Sedan..what do u think ?

Saw the other thread talking about C in the curves.
Can any one with SS tell me how their SS suspension are different from normal W203 ?
Do they perform any better comparing to the regular suspension ?

Thanks

the SS stance is lower so the center of gravity is much better taking the turns

'01 C240 SPORT 6SPD
A '01 C240 Ss 6spd

Besides sitting lower, it handles very tight in the corners especially witht he right tires and shifting in to lower gears to keep the torque up and then rocket out of the turns. Toyo Proxes 225/50/16 v
After 92000 miles I have had to have the bushings on sway bar and lower control arm thrust supports repaired. these are new warranty replacement parts as new design over 2001.

C180K SS .
Bing , thanks for the highlight .

When I bought my C180K , they only put " sport suspension " on the brochure. So I never really what's the set up for that " sport suspension"
but it's definitely lower then the regular W203 and it's stiffer.

Now, it's back to the dealer to get the AMG Kit installed ..
Going to post some pictures soon.. :v


Do SS have the same suspensiion for the AWD and non AWD models ?
