Yes...it's the n00b again.
Sorry to clutter the board with questions, however I was curious to know how the stock AMG suspension/dampers hold up with after market lowering springs, say H&R.
I know on lesser automobiles it is customary to put aftermarket dampers on with springs, however I figured the AMG suspension should be diesel enough to handle the stress of the drop.
Opinions?

If you choose a set of lowering springs from a reputable tuner, you should be okay with the stock shocks. Personally, I am not in favor of the H&R springs + AMG shocks combination.

I also have the H&R springs and AMG struts/shocks, but I really dont like the ride. It feels too bouncy for me. I've got a set of Konis ordered from Pure MS, just waiting to get them installed. You should check them out for prices.
