C300 on airbags/lowered HELP!!!
Hi All! Owner of a 2015 c300 4matic.
Recently ive been looking into putting the car on an Airride aftermarket system or coil overs or lowersprings. The thing I’m most concerned about is ride quality. I use the car as my daily and I drive 45 minutes to an hour everyday to and from work, without traffic.
I was wondering what others have done to lower their ride, and to increase ride quality. Money isn’t an object so the best of the best is what I’m looking for.
What would you suggest? Pictures are greatly appreciated as well!!!
to help, I live in Wisconsin, so something that can handle 3-4 months of cold and snow would be much appreciated!

i had a KW Coilover set V1 in my previous w205 which was amazing. Ride quality was much smoother than before (had the sport-suspension before). dropped about 1 1/2 inch. drove it for around 30.000 miles - no issues at all

Not on a C Classe, but I was on an air suspension on my RS4 when I lived in Colorado. I found the ride quality to be superior than the OEM, and handling was actually comparible to the coilover setup I went to afterwards. The biggest issues that I had were that the lines had been run near the rear axle and over time the rubbing led to a leak. Also, had a ground issue due to the installer not properly installing. I would ensure that the installer has done a C300, or similar, before to save in potential future issues.

I just installed BC coilovers on my C400 mainly because I didn’t have the patience to wait for the Bilstiens. My expectations were kind of low and I’ve been pleasantly surprised. I dropped it about 1.5” from the sport suspension and it handles so much better. The thing that surprised me the most was how drastic the hard soft dampening works while still handling and riding much better than stock. I learned when searching for coilovers to be very specific that you have a 4matic because the fronts are different than rwd
