Yeah I agree, the ride is too harsh, but I'm changing my suspension in couple weeks to Koni Shocks and H&R springs.

Koni's tend to be a softer ride in cars the CLK's size and up. Plus with the adjustable dampening, they cater to more people's needs. Both shocks perform well when matched with H&R springs.

Putting your radar up higher allows it to detect (if able) radar from the rear. When it's against your dash, it's too low and gets blocked by your trunk.

The higher up the detecter the farther out in the horizon it can "see".

My radar is right below the top of the passenger side sun visor. Picks up signals very easily and I've had such good luck with it. No tickets with it so far........it saved me so many times.

You can always get a kit hard-wired to your car, but they're considerably more expensive than the normal units.
