![Question](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Did a search, and didn't come up with anything -- are there any good aftermarket suspension setups for the E430 that would: (1) stiffen up the ride without knocking your teeth out, (2) not really lower the car that much, and (3) be "smiled upon" by MBZ in regards to the warranty (read: AMG)?
I'm looking for something that would eliminate more of the float/dive/wallowiness while more or less maintaing the current ride, and at the same time it would hold up to spirited driving (read: some time on the track).
Not asking much, am I?![Big Grin](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
TIA

Anything you do to modify or change suspension or ride will interfere with the warranty especially if you have a suspension malfunction. In other words: If you change any part of your suspension & have a problem with any related components, MB can deny the warranty of that item. My advise is to keep it original.

As for the E55 suspension, that's a great idea. I'll see how things go.

How about with AMG parts, since they're an MBZ-authorized tuner?
How did you like the ride? How much did you originally pay for the components brand-new? Where did you get it brand-new? (Why don't you keep it for the next E-class you get? )

Yes, I got the suspension new. It came from AMG germany. If I can find the paperwork, the buyer will also get that. It even includes the alignment specs (in german). I paid a bit more than my asking price, but not the $2500+ the dealer wanted.
I won't be getting a new E-class, but it will most likely be a MB.
One last note: current high bid is only $700 and the reserve has ben met.
If you have any other questions, post them or Email me.
