tougher suspension spares for w211 270 CDi
Hi, I own a e270 CDi w211 with 18" Brabus wheels, Bilstein PSS9 adjustable coilovers set to "4" all around. Roads in Mumbai (aka Bombay) are very bad. result is that i need to change lower arm, tie rod end, and other parts very frequently. Is it normal? if yes, can anybody help me source tougher spec susp. spares to take the beating.. Thanks in anticipation.

But why not go for higher profile tyres first, would help taking most of the shocks for the suspension. A big difference if you had 225/55/16 tyres. Would lose the looks, if you are not willing to compromise the looks, then probably need to keep changing parts

Whoa, your Bilstein PSS9 adjustable coilovers set to "4"! That's abit firm/stiff for normal streets with potholes and all.
I've also got PSS9 setup on my E320 CDI but softer settings, "7"/front and "9"/rears. I'd ease off on your settings would help ease up on the other suspension components.
