Hellow,

A couple of years ago, i bought a c55 from California.

What i have noticed and have been investigating is the ride height of the car.

The height is bigger than my other, European, c55 or my c30.

I checked the spings and these are the right one from Mercedes (3 blue stripes).

Does any one has an explanation for this and a solution to make it ok?

First foto is american AMG, second is European AMG (same suspension)

On top of the rear springs, there are rubber bushings. They come in 4 different thickness with dots on them.
If you put your hand in there you can feel what dot you have where 1 dot is the thinnest.
I changed on my estate from nr 1 to nr 2 because i run 255 width and I want to be able to have a hefty load
without the tires rubbing.
Here you can see the difference between nr 1 and nr 4:

I´ve heard there is a similar system for the front suspension. Maybe I´ll look into this next year.

Number 2 is perfect for me in the rear.

Cool, thx!

I ordered the nr 1 for the rear. In the front, i don't see any similair issue?

The person who told me there is a similar system for the front suspension owns an E-class...
