C300 AMG Suspension or no?

Looking to get the C300 and I found a car that has the AMG package with sport suspension.

Couldn’t find any reviews on sport suspension. I liked the way the C300 drove regularly, but worries the sport suspension will ruin it.

Any thoughts?

thank you

i think most people here have the sport/amg pack including me.
it means its +-2cm lower then the normal/luxury suspension. i'm on 18" wheels and it doesn't ruin the ride unlike for example an Sline suspension on audi.
its far softer then the suspension from the AMG models

2016 C300 4matic
The 2015/2016 sport suspension is way different from the 2018/2019 sport suspension. I had a 2015 with the sport suspension and I regretted it for full-time driving, however, the newer ones (i think they call it "sport-tuned" now) are excellent IMHO. I have the airmatic in my C300 so I can go through all the modes if desired.Unfortunately I don't believe you can add that option any more.

Yeah mate,
I drive a 2016 C300 and the AMG sport suspension is far more softer than that of the Audi.
My brother drives a 2017 Audi S3 and his suspension not only is very uncomfortable but has way more travel as well which makes the ride seem extremely weird.

I have also driven the 2018 C300 with the AMG suspension but honestly can't tell the difference between the 2016 or 2018 one.

Both to me seem good.
