Question 2019 C43 W205 AIR RIDE INSTALL/FRONT & REAR STRUT/SHOCK REMOVAL

Hey I was wondering if anyone has installed air ride on their c43/c63 or any w205 in fact. I have finished setting and testing my management (tank, manifold, compressors) and now I have to install the struts. Has anyone removed their front & rear struts/shock assembly? If so do you have a guide or pictures? I installed coilovers on my 2013 STI awhile back but they were full strut assemblies vs the independent spring and shock I have on the rear of my C43. I have also located two gromets under the trunk covers where I can run all 4 lines through directly into the trunk.

Just a little update:

I found a few videos on C300's





And one video on a C43



I did not find any video on removing the rear shock from a C43 but maybe it's the same as a C300. I will attempt it myself and let you guys know. I will also be posting pictures/videos of my air suspension progress and completion.

So my 2019 C43 Sedan is officially bagged on Flyyair Struts and Airlift 3P Management. I'm happy to say these videos assisted me with removing the front struts, rear springs, and rear shocks.

It feels like you're driving with sport+ suspension activated all the time. I had lowering springs previously and it feels just about the same if not a little more bouncy. I didn't really expect it to be a cloud or an S Class but hey if you want that low lifestyle you have to sacrifice the comfort.

Where did you find the torque specs for everythig? I'm planning on putting in the KW HAS spring in this spring and want to make sure I torque everything down properly.

Did your C have the Dynamic Select? If yes, did it throw error codes?
