Bilstein B6 or B4
I know there have been multiple post about Bilstein B6 and B4, but all of them talk about how the perform or ride in theory. Im looking to replace my suspension but I cannot decide on Bilstein B6 or B4. I want the better handing and less body roll, BUT a comfortable ride is also very important to me. I live in the NYC area , so bad road is a thing. Has anyone actually installed a set of B6 on their W212? What do you guy/girls think is my best option? B6 , B4 or a set of coilovers? I also purchased a set of Vogtland springs last year but never installed them

But, have you ever thought about going with 17" rims with softer springs? Going to 17" rims does not change car handling basically at all but gives an extra 1/2" rubber between roan and rim. I have 17" rims under my car right now.

I have not had issue like you but I have a 2010 model E550 with the Airmatic. I think this suspension is exactly what you would want to have but unfortunately you don't have it.
