Question CLK Factory Suspension Option

Anyone have this on their CLK's? For $210 it sounds like a no-brainer.

Sport Suspension
Add a more aggressive stance and sharper handling response to your CLK 350 or 500. The sport-tuned suspension includes firmer coil springs and shock absorbers, along with a lowered ride height.

tried to get it on my car but

there wasnt a black one in the country with that option. I did drive a car with and without the sport suspension and did not notice any difference at all.

I have an 06 clk350c with that option. I thought it was a must-have. it si not that much lower than the other one, but you can tell the difference in the front! here are some pics with the factory wheels and some with new wheels just put on this evening. The pictures i took tonight don't look that great, but my garage was the only spot i had:

How long has this option been around? I'm thinking about skipping the new M3 (too long to wait) and getting the new CLK550 and I would certainly add this option to the list!

new option for 2006. I think they should all come with this option. the wheel gap on the front of the standard suspension is atrocious. I still don't think it is low enough. the audi I had with sport suspension sat a little bit lower.

It was available earlier than 2006 in Non USA markets.
We have it on our 2005 and I guess it scrapes the front spoiler a bit more often.

You still sore over your America bashing little girl? I waited and waited in Pasadena, to no hope. Did mommy make you stay home?

There is a meet in Escondido this weekend. Want to try again? I'm "dying" to have you explain to me just how stupid we americans are.

I dont know if it's the same suspension that comes in AMG-package but if it is, it looks a little lower... I think it's reasonable to have it if you don't want to loose comfort and still have a "lowered" car... it usually depends on the condition of the roads that you ride around... if they are fine, forget the sport springs and get eibach or brabus

Hard to find that option

Ive tried to add that on to my vehicle too, was like impossible to get.

And considering theres not much talk about it, I'll safely assume its not a must have feature..
