2010blkc300

Has anyone upgraded the shocks on their w212 E350??

I have a 2014 E350 4Matic sport and find the front shocks a bit weak in the knees. Ride is smooth but when really pushed in turns and especially when the road has a few undulations (ups and downs) I find the front end floats quite a bit (bobs up and down).
It seems that the shock valving is fairly light (for comfort) but could use some better compression and redound control. Not sure the 4Matic's have the "real" sport suspension that is part of the "sport package" as the non 4matic E350 or if it is just a cosmetic option (like the X-drive Msport on BMW).

Not looking to create a really stiff ride or lower the car with springs just trying to get more control when driving a bit spirited... Perhaps Bilstein HDs?

No clue but if you know any mb technicians I have my oem e63 front shocks for sale ! and rear struts

They have kw sport coilovers for this car and if you want something that is sportier, then this definitely would fit the bill.

Don't think the AMG shocks would work, aren't they electronically controlled?

That would definitely work but pretty pricey. I was thinking of just getting some higher performance shocks or perhaps I should just accept the suspension as is...

semi hijack -- does the suspension height-adjust itself on 2014 E350 wagon w/ luxury package?

first time i noticed this was yesterday -- pulled into the garage after a quick errand run. when i got off the car, i heard a burst of air released, simultaneous with a drop in height. wasn't carrying a heavy load -- just 2 people. is this normal?

sorted -- it's the airmatic rear springs that come standard in all wagons...
