Suspension Upgrade
Hello Everyone.
I was looking for people to provide me some feedback on suspension work they have done.
My main focus is to improve the ride quality. The roads in my area are not the smoothest (there's an understatement) and I'm starting to get annoyed with feeling EVERY little road imperfection.
I am even considering getting into a different car, but I sure as hell would need a really good offer to let it go for less than trade in blue book value.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

That's an interesting request on your part. The stiff suspension on your C55 is the price one pays for getting decent handling.
If your priority is to soften up the ride and you're willing to sacrifice some handling and grip, then one option is to switch to the C32 AMG suspension.
Some C32 guys deliberately go the other way and switch to the C55 suspension setup to improve handling.
Another option is to go with adjustable coil-overs and and set-it to one of the softest settings to maximize comfort.
