yes, i was able to align mine back to spec. Although we had to do some modifications on the rear lower control arm (I'll post a pic of the mod).
The dynamic suspension still functions as it should. Actually, you'll be surprised how comfort still feels smooth like you didn't do anything different at all, but sport/sport+ does feel stiffer. Altogether, i'm pretty happy with my setup.
Pretty much the same for me, albeit on stock 18s. The technician showed me how he was relocating or adjusting the rear control arm, but after the alignment dude was done the right front was off mfg. spec by a half-a-degree or something like that. (Will try to remember to upload the sheet for you's to see.)
The fix will require camber bolts for both sides up front at around $250 installed. But I suspect everyone's ability to get back within MB spec may vary with wheel-tire combo...........if I understand how that works after my having my installer lower a handful of vehicles in the past.
And personally, I can't tell a thing regarding the Dynamic system. Feels at least the same, if not slightly smoother. I think.
Now that you have lowered your cars, did you need to do any alignment? I know that once you do lower this will change the camber however I know that the C450 AMG already comes with a negative natural camber setup. I was wondering if anyone was able to align it back without taking off or removing the benefit or if there is now more excess tire wear.
Secondly... How does it effect the Dynamic suspension system? Does feel harder in Comfort that it already does and what happens in Sport + when the dampers get hard? Has anyone noticed any wear and tear on the damper system?
I see people lower the 2016-2017 C63 and have not heard any problems so I can only assume that it would be the same for C450/C43 models.
Attaching my alignment sheet after lowering atop stock 18"ers, Cos; camber bolts needed for the front:
I am selling my 18" OEM rims ET44 front 7.5 ET56 rear 8.5. No tires. Just wheels and they are in brand spanking new condition with no curb rash or dents/dings whatsoever. Whatever you see in the pictures is dust/brake dust. Let me know if anyone is interested. 1 front and 2 rears. Will sell individually as well. Will ship to Con US.
