Shock Upgrade 06 w211 E350 Elegance
Has anyone changed out their factory shocks for aftermarket? I am looking for some different options. I am going to install h&r springs and want to change out the shocks at the same time. I want something that rides stiffer than the elegance (very soft) suspension. Have been looking at bilstein hd shocks and also the factory sport shocks. Does anyone know how the ride is changed with the above upgrades? The car rides like a boat now.
Searched around but found nothing for the w211.

I know exactly what you mean sunny j. I have been looking at bilstein shocks but they only carry heavy duty or comfort. I have heard they offered a sport line but not for the w211 chassis. Does anyone know if the sport line is the same as the heavy duty's just for lowered cars (as far as firmness)?

Well Timannn, I actually perceive the standard elegance suspension to be a bit hard. I would actually like the car to absorb the road imperfection a bit more. Are there any configuration available that would actually soften the ride?
