clk55 AMG suspension probelm

Hi,

I just got a 2003 clk55 AMG W209. When I take my car to the mechanic, he said that the shocks will gone soon. I am wondering that what's you guy suggestion? coilovers? buy a set of spring and shocks? please give me some information. Thanks!

Well if you want to lower the car then you have the option for lowering springs and a new set of shocks or coilovers. If you like the ride quality and handling the way it is, then you can replace the shocks. A lot of people prefer the bilstein sport shocks on here. Usually shocks will start to leak, make strange noises, or the car will sag and have a bad ride of the shock is blown
