E550 Coupe
blistien b8's!
has anyone installed these shocks on their e550 coupes?

how are they compared to stock ride?

also do you get any ERROR signs cause the oem shock are connected to the car cause of the sport dampening?

You won't get error signs if you disconnect the plugs for the sport dampening, but your car will be stuck in Sport mode and you won't be able to switch back to Comfort.

Yep, unless they've done some fancy wiring to trick the ECU. KW made an announcement that they were releasing a plug n play coil over set for our cars, but that was 2 years ago and nothing has come out yet as far as I know. I started looking into wiring diagrams and the possibility of installing some relays or something but gave up and figured it wasn't worth it. Being in sport mode all the time ain't so bad lol
