He says its bagged in the ad, or it says baggedbenz rather. So maybe it's not that bad, i'm not sure.

Probably on air-bags, that's how he got it so low. Could raise it for normal driving & lower it to impress!!

That car belongs to Jay. I'm not sure if he's in the forum often. He installed a custom set of air suspension by himself. I think that is the only C class with air suspension. It's amazing.

cars that are bagged ride terrible. A co-worker of mine has a clk320 on airbags. The car feels like it's floating, i don't know if you guys have driven in a car with no shocks just lowering springs, but that's how it feels.

Ha....I thought that was my car for a moment there. Alas, it has WA plates. I remember seeing his car posted or advertised somewhere before.

Funny, my car looks like that when out with the family.....yeah, a scrape here, a scape there!!

They can be made to ride nice, but it takes some physics. Slam Specialties makes bags that will compress under light vehicles to aid with the ride, and also the use of an accumulator helps greatly. There are also special shocks you can get that are designed to function with air ride suspension.

I think the price is a bit outrageous...that is probably just a point to start negotiations
