Been offered a sweet deal on Accuair with coils for my W205 AWD..
any words of wisdom?
Should I buy or just get coils?
Any advise is highly appreciated !
I'm bagiing my W205 C63S. Have you ever bagged a car? It's the best of both worlds, especially since I am in a city with a lot of speed bumps and potholes.

I've only done coils before but in shanghai we only have basement parking and I tend to scratch the crap out of the bottom of the car. This is a reason why I wanna bag it but I'm not sure if it's
1. Reliable
2. Comfortable

The system is as reliable as it is installed, with that being said it is very reliable. Through snow or during the hottest summers, it can endure it. Comfort and performance depends on the struts you get, if they are adjustable then you can tailer it to be comfortable or stiff if you want.
Make you sure get a qualified installer, and that they have done air suspension in the past. It's not hard to install, but there are small things that can make a big difference in the future.

Thanks Matt, there is a couple of experienced installers here in Shanghai. I have a friend who tells me he can install but they dont have experience with air so id better use a shop with experience.

May I ask which coilovers you are using ?
That is great! The car looks amazing slammed. I am going to be using a custom strut/bag construction made by Boden from Cali. If you are going to just put a bag over strut maybe you should get kw suspension shock.

Hey Matt
Which coils do you recommend for W205 ? Mine is a 4matic ( not airmatic ) I'd like some recommendations please.
If I had this option for 4 Matic I would have purchased it before my stage 1 tune. Post pics as soon as you can.
Why don't you have this option for 4matic ? Mine is a 4matic with spring not air.
Anyways, I dropped the car at the shop last night.. They need it for 2 days I think... They mentioned 6-8 hours to install and then the next day to check if they need to pull fenders etc..
so nothing ever comes easy.... Turns out that despite buying the struts from accuair china or their dealer here the structs dont fit the 4matic. However I have a good shop that helps me. They have sent the OEM struts to Taiwan to a company that does custom coils. They will make a brand spanking new set of coils for my 4matic. The first they have ever produced. This company actually have a tie up with accuair china so they are interested in getting this model produced. Should get the new custom coils mid next week from Taiwan and get the system installed.
This means that if it really fits there is a fix for other 4matic drivers out there who wants air suspension.
Custom coils arrived today from Taiwan.
Got the tank polished too.
Won't be long now
Wow looks great! Can't wait to see your car bagged, it's gonna look sick! Unfortunately for our cars there are no a lot of parts out. My struts/bags had to be built to order as well. Not many bagged c classes yet, so it will be unique in that aspect.
Hi all. I present to you one of the first bagged W205 4matic. more photos will follow later when I have time and the weather is nicer. The installer will do a photo shoot next week.
That is really awesome. I'd love to get something like that for mine but the roads are just terrible around here.
keep in mind that you can raise the car higher than OEM. The reason why i bought this system is because the roads here are absolutely crap.. So if I want to go low I do that. If I want to go high I just push 3 and its like a 4x4
