Looking for Suspension freshening advice/shop in San Diego

new to the forum.
135k mi on 2001 E55 and I want to get that near new car ride back without getting carried away or put away. Not looking to go all race car hard or to autocross. Any advice on what is typically needed and what isn't will be appreciated. Any real referral to quality suspension shop in the county would be great too.

What do you need to replace?

Hi there,

What do you need to replace?

If you are just doing bushings and shocks I might be able to help.

You want to visit Clarence Brown alignment shop in Kearny Mesa area, ask to schedule Daryl to do the work. These guys are the best, he works on any suspension from Prison bus to Porsche, has always aligned and installed rear adjustable suspension arms on my lowered Mercedes.

Silverstar in Escondido..

Unless "leaking" shocks are fine - "weepage" OK - upper/lower bushings - ball joints - aftermarket Meyle HD is 1000% OK.... and remember on W210 AMG - "great rubber rules".. under 25% of any tread gets fidgety..
