just purchased a coilover,
those this triggers electric damp warning sign?
if yes what should i purchase to avoid?

thank you in advance!

 

Why did you do this ?
The EDC Suspension is great - its from Bilstein.
Tested & developed by AMG and Bilstein for this car.

If loweing than by springs with thread only.

Look to H&R , KW etc in insalliation manual - if i remember correct they use a modul to put in the plugs from edc.

 

my original suspension blow up with lowering springs, now im undecided if i should just buy suspention and exchange them

 

Buy new MB OEM damper or the aftermarked damper from Bilstein . Check out bilstein aftermarket catalogue in www.

how many miles on them if you lowered it ?
what means “blow up” … exploded like a bomb or leaking oil ?

 

god i should’ve ask here before i made a purchase, thing is on its way LOL

its been like idk.. 15-20k miles maybe?
now its at almost 70k

its leaking oil and i feel like my car rumbles,
thats why i bought these thinking it should be better than having just ”springs“ but i was also thinking if i cant use damptroic.. its not a ”upgrade“ 🤦🏻‍♂️

 

Yes ask before doing something stupid is allways good.

i checked bilstein catalogue … you are lucky guy because there is something ( B4 Damp Tronic )

 

could you pleaae please provide me a link?

ask mb parts guy

check price from link

make a desission .

 

To answer your question, yes you need a bypass module that makes the car think your adaptive dampers are still there, otherwise you'll get suspension errors. If I remember correctly, Renntech makes one. The OE dampers can leak even if not lowered, but lowering with just springs makes them operate outside of their designed specs. Basically they are always partially compressed beyond what they are designed for. You also limit your overall suspension travel with lowering springs. IMO, makes the car worse. On the other hand with coilovers, you lose all the adaptive part of the suspension. It's not just that you lose the three modes that allow you to adjust the suspension on the fly, but as is the case with adaptive suspensions, it will also no longer adapt to current driving conditions. You can only have one suspension setup that has to work for all situations with coilovers. That's great for a track car, where you can set it up specifically for a given track, but on public roads where you can encounter anything from a freshly paved smooth road to a meteor impact moon surface that will be a downgrade. Not to mention that your mood may change between wanting more comfort in C or more body control in S+ depending on if you are just cruising along or attacking your favorite canyon roads. AMG tried the coilovers in the GT R Pro as that was mainly an amateur track car, but they went back to an adaptive suspension with the even more bonkers Black Series. That should tell you something.

I used to have fixed suspensions in my cars up until the C63 and it was always kinda the part that let me down. The AMG Ride Control suspension makes this car so much more versatile. It can be a decently comfortable long distance GT in C, while at the same time providing exceptional body control when attacking a canyon road in Race mode.

If we continue like this, the tuners will go bust.
Its a AMG … this means no tuning needed.

 

Haha...quite frankly I've never been a believer in hobby tuning. These tuners just don't have the resources and the means to properly test their so-called "upgrades". Most aftermarket tuned cars IMO are garbage. They lost the balance. I'm ok with upgrading brake rotors to full floating rotors as I've done and newer better tires, but that's where I stop. Most other so-called upgrades make it worse, IMHO. You just can't match AMG testing and tuning these cars to work on the track, on your daily commute, up in Sweden during sub zero temps etc. Of course this means that there are ultimately compromises, so if you have a special purpose in mind for the car and tune it for that, then good things can be accomplished, but for a car that is driven on the public roads in different situations, tuned cars are frankly terrible.

I have an anecdotal story that makes me laugh to this day. On one of my canyon runs I closed in on an Infinity something. Don't remember the exact model. It clearly had aftermarket suspension. When he saw me close in, he tried to stay ahead and set the pace, but he was bouncing all over the road. He literally had to slow down in order to stay on the road. I was laughing my *** off. I was able to keep up with him by barely trying while he struggled to stay on the road as said. Eventually he realized that he was in over his head and pulled to the side and he disappeared in my rear view mirror. I'm pretty sure that he'd had a better chance staying on the road with the stock suspension.
