dynamic handling package

Has anybody had to change their shocks yet, I know they are very expensive. My c350 is 10 years old and I am wondering what other people have done in this situation. Thanks

2008 C350-Sport-AMG-Active Agility Pack(Not reliable) +Izuzu KB6 3L(It seems Reliable)+Mazda
Hi, I have this package on C350 2008. My experience was it fails miserably on corrigated roads no matter which speed or mode(C or S).

I complained about this under guarantee, they replaced a control unit, but it made no difference. THey refused to replace the munroe shocks because theres no oil leaks.

My feeling is the munroe shocks are good for the 1st 10 000-15 000Km good roads then it deteriorates to a stage and stay around there for some time. I have not replaced mine at 145 00Km+. Its ok on good roads.

It would be interesting to know if somebody replace the shocks and have a total different experience after that, and I wonder if I would have a claim backwards seeing it was a legit complaint under gurantee. Monroe ignored my E-Mails, I could not established communication on record with them then..

It's a wonder they ever did these types of dampers considering the others are dual rate .
