C-Class Sport Suspension

How much harsher is the sport suspension on the C320 than the standard suspension. I am thinking of buying a c320 with sport but unsure whether it will be too harsh. I would drive the car myself but it is out of town. I drove a sport C240 stick a couple of years ago an don't remeber it being overly stiff.

Thanks in advance.

There is barely any difference, depends on what year you are getting. If brand new (2004.5) I am not sure because I know the new sport models sit lower and have staggered rims. If its an early 04 or 01-03 then it should be pretty much the same as a stock C-class. Also with the early 04 and 01-03 cars you can always put on the stock 16 inch wheels which will ride real smooth.

don't worry, even the newest sport suspension is quite soft.

Hey Kwik, saw the suspension setup you put in Chatman's car. Looks good. I'll donate to your tool fund if I need any work done
