Suspension and brake upgrade information sought
I have a 2002 E430 and am considering uprgrading suspension and braking. Is their a straightforward upgrade to emulate the E55 set-up? Can one purchase aftermarket pieces that will accomplish a similar well controlled ride, good turn-in and exceptional braking. TIA

1996 C220 (W202) and E320 (w210)
as i heard, the E55AMG mounts eibach shocks with AMG springs (which are v/ similar to the Eibach springs) and the original brake discs are from AMG (u will have to buy those from the stealership) so u can be better off with finding the diameters for the E55s discs and then buy aftermarket ones with the same diameter, and ur done!.
u wil have a ride experience very similar to the original AMG car.
just bear in mind that ur engine is not as powerful as the AMG
i dont know if that was straight forward,
cheers
