AMG Line: choose sport suspension or not
Hi all,
I'm new so sorry if this looks like a trivial question. I have ordered my GLC and one of the options was AMG exterior. Now, I have driven 2 versions in drive tests: ABC or sport suspension. The later comes as a default with AMG exterior, however I can drop it in favor of the standard suspension. In my drive test I had 20" rims and sport suspension and it seemed kind of rigid, but it steered nicely on tighter turns.
I've also seen a lot of people recommending standard suspension against sport one due to being not so rigid/stiff.
My question is: if i ordered amg ext and 19"rims and sport suspension, is it going to be just similarly rigid as the larger 20" or slightly softer? Should I drop sport suspension for the default (I can still change my order, delivery is scheduled on April)?
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion ardadoruk83. I have chosen 19 inch and non runflat tyres which should be softer than the tested 20" and (i believe) runflats. i'm still thinking how to do it, but mostly it involves another test drive, as the irrational factor of looks still wins for me and I'd like to keep AMG line.

You're lucky you can order non-run flats. In the US we don't get that option at all.

When did you order your car and when are you going to recieve your GLC? ( And which country?)

To me, at least on the US based GLC, the non-sport look wins over the sport. Whereas on the C300, I think sport looks better than non-sport. Our GLC is not coming in Sport trim. We didn't think the price for you get was worth it.
