I sold my ML55 and returned the car to stock, so I have some stuff for sale.

20X9 Giovanna's with tire
H&R flat top Springs
2002 Mirror covers
Bilstien front Shocks (still in good condition comes with lifetime warranty)
Let me know if anyone is interested.

 

how much for rims?

 

Will the shocks and springs fit a 2000 ML320? If so, how much?

 

$1600 for the wheels and tires. The shocks and springs I am not sure if they will fit a 320.

 

where r u located?

 

BILSTEIN - LIFETIME WARRANTY

ThyssenKrupp Bilstein of America warrants its gas pressure shock absorbers against defects in workmanship and materials for as long as you, the original purchaser, own your car.

 

I would like to mount driving lights on our 2001 ML and could use a grill bar like that -- where can I get one that is not as expensive as the MB dealer's?

THANKS

 

So like, how much for the shocks and how many miles did you put on them?

 

I am located in Denver Colorado. The shocks have about 5,000 miles on them, they are still pretty stiff when you try to push down on it. $125 for the fron t shocks, the only thing is that when i had them removed the guy did not give me back the dust covers, so I do not have the dust covers.

 

Did you put the shocks and wheels on at the same time? If so, how much different did it make the car handle?

I just upgraded to the ML55 AMG OEM 18" wheels from the original Sport model 17" and I notice a lot of body roll that I do not remeber having before. I was thinking that these wider wheels could use stiffer shocks. But I'm no mechanic.

 

If you have 35k+ miles on your car, chances are you would benefit from new/upgraded shocks. I installed Bilsteins at about 50k and the difference was dramatic. Shocks do not control roll specifically, but will give overall body motion control. Aftermarket sway bars are available, but I have no experience with them.

 

Greg - I am at 50K now, so you are probably right, shocks would likely help. Looking around on the net it appears that there are not a lot of options as far as shocks go, it is either OEM or Bilstien. Not that I would have a problem with Bilstiens - it's just I find it odd there are so few choices.

I have not found aftermarket sway bars (haven't looked all that hard). I believe a poster mentioned the OEM are hollow and aftermarket are not. I will look into it. Wondering if the ML55 differs in this area too.

 

Yes, everything was put on the same time. With the car being lower the center of gravity is now lower also, the car handled very nice with this setup, since i live in Denver I took up the mountain pass once and was passing everyone up. With the power of the 55 i could go uphill no problem, and with the wider wheels and lower stance i could carve the mountain pass with ease. With the speed limit on the pass at 65 i was averaging 85-90.

 

AMG how much are you looking for on the 55's upgraded suspension? I have been looking at it and it needs to get lowered a little and most of all it does need new shocks the old ones I think are starting to give up on me... I have close to 85k miles, lol...

 

I will do $150 for the Springs and Front Shocks. Let me know.

 

Since I have not heard anything I have put them on E-bay. Here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MESE%3AIT&rd=1

Do you still have those wheels for sale? Also, I'm a MB owner for the first time. Will they fit on my ML500 2002?
