Sport shocks for 2009 E350
Hi all,
Does anyone have any recommendations for heavy duty/ sport shocks for a 2009 E350? I've still have my original shocks with my Brabus springs, and am looking for more support.
Thanks in advance.

A while back I was looking on some German websites and it seemed like Bilstein PSS-10s were available for the W211(?) I have them on my 993 Porsche and it's a great system. Way improved over the PSS-9s. You can change adjustments a lot easier (bigger dials with click stops.)
Bilstein also makes a remote adjustable PSS type shock system, too, for MBs. Pretty pricey, though.
If you don't want to do coilovers then just the Bilstein HDs would be the best choice, imho. That is if they have a fitment for the later W211s. I've run HDs on a lot of cars; not too stiff to rattle up your kidneys, and they really help keep the car from body rolling in the twisties.

The HDs definitely keep the car flatter around the corners. That's a big help, imho. And also the weight shift from front to back after coming out from hard braking is lessened.
