Upgraded Suspension
After owning my C43 for three years, I finally decided to upgrade the suspension. I went with a Vogtland kit, which includes Bilstein sport shocks.
I am surprised how good it feels on the street, I was expecting a much stiffer ride, but if anything it is more comfortable than the stock suspension. Body roll and brake dive are non-existent compared to before.
The real reason I got the suspension was to improve performance on the track. I will be taking it to New Jersey Motorsports Park (Greater Washington Mercedes Club) in three weeks, and then to Pocono (Delaware Valley BMW Club) two weeks after that, so I will see how it goes.
I hope you like the pictures.
