Air Ride vs Coilover on CL65 AMG C215
With a heavy heart... I am contemplating replacing the ABC on my CL65. I read many testimonials about coilovers and was sad to hear of the disappearance of AccuAir.
Questions.
Have any of you regretted the switch to Coilovers in terms of performance and confidence in the car?
Any reliable replacement for AccuAir out there
In general terms.. do air ride perform as well as coilovers for all types of driving?
I like the option to adjust the height from the click of a button....
Thank you for sharing your experience.

I have Yellow speed coils on my CL55. In the beginning I wasn't so sure about conversion but now I love it. I will put s500 ps pump and front sway bar. Front 3 clicks and 5 clicks rear feels about right. Even without sway bar car feels solid. Dont get me wrong nothing beats good working ABC suspension but yoh will ALWAYS have issues with it.

Hi,
Any particular reason why you chose Yellow coilovers? I'm about to do the conversion, and am looking at JVR, mainly because they seem sturdier and more adjustable.
