Coilover kit to replace our ABS system

http://www.strutmasters.com/Mercedes...arts-s/110.htm

anyone ever heard of this kit and knows anyone who has done one? I just noticed this pop up on the CL section and guessing a coilover kit for around $2,000 is way better than going on to fix our ABS once it gives out.

Any input would be great.

it's not worth doing it with the ABC system way too complicated, with Air suspension its plug and play...

so if the pump is still running. the hoses and the pump are still prone to failure and if they fail they will still have to be replaced in order for the power steering to work?

Plus OP, you can't lower the car because there isn't a lowering spring available. So if you like stock height, enjoy the struts.

The abc is the best thing going for our cars. I would not replace it with a coil over system at any cost.

Our cars are way to heavy for coil overs to perform well (IMO) VS our ABC system. The ABC is a great system to make a heavy car drive and handle " more" like a much smaller car. I saw a CL600 with coil overs but it was a drag race car only.
