Airmatic Failure!

I'm thinking about coilovers in 2025, I want to bypass the inevitable failure of fixing the air bags again. Does anyone have any recent experience or suggestions? I appreciate any help I can get.

Welcome to the forum. Since the C219 CLS is based on the W211 platform and there were many, many more of those made, you will get a lot more eyeballs on your question over on thet page. See you over there https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg-81/

Installed coil overs several months back. Pic was after new wheels installed about 2 to 3 weeks ago, car has been raised up some since the picture was taken.

SF Racing Sport coilovers. Big improvement in handling. I know its a heavy car but I've been able to push it more in the turns. Nothing to brag about but i smoked a lowered Miata with a few mods in the twisties. Coilovers, long tubes, fixed 77mm pulley and 3000 stall TQ converter makes for a fun ride.

Lots of posts over in the W211 forum. Anything that works on the W211 works on the C219 as they are the same platform.
