Drove a performance packaged car....
and yeah, its noticeably stiffer to me. I could really feel the bumps. Maybe some slightly softer tires could help.
However, I really do like the feel of that steering wheel. Wish it was a stand alone option.

Anyone know how I can check my C63 to see if it has the performance package suspension? Someone had this car on order and canceled at the last minute so I took over and bought it. The dealer told me it is just the base package, but the ride is quite stiff and I can pretty much feel every bump.
I heard that you can check at the dealer by providing the VIN number, but is there also another way just by looking at the springs or something? Thanks.

It is definately stiffer. My friend has a 2001 Porsche 911 and it seems very comparable to his car. You feel every bump in the road but when you can and do push the car, it is a nice feeling to have. I would love to take it on a track and see how it feels.

Yes. The PP front rotors are slotted and drilled. The std rotors are just drilled Also, look at the disc/disc carrier. On the std wheels it looks like one piece. On the PP wheels, you can see where the disc is bolted to the disc carrier hub.

If you're anywhere near Chicago I'll buy your suspension for the difference and we can swap for my standard. I find it too soft having come from an M coupe - but PP was not yet out when I got my car. That way you get the wheel you wanted with the ride you would prefer! PM ME!
