Advice on Springs and Absorbers
Hi Bros,
I need your expert opinion on this...
When i bought my C class, it came with Bilstein sports suspension, very stiff. After driving a while, cranking noise was detected and workshop narrowed down to absorber problem. We then change the front 2 to original stock, and leave the back 2 as Bilstein. Noise went away.
my questions are:
1) is it OK to have front and back absorbers different? Any safety issue?
2) I feel that the front is now rather cushioned but back is kinda stiff, not sure if it's just my hallucination.
Any other concern you know, please do share with me.
Thanks alot Bros!

Just to be sure, is it the B12 sport suspension, with H8 shocks and Eibach Pro-Kit springs?
