ML350 handling

Hi all,
I have a 2005 ML 350 and have been very happy with it, coming from a W210 Avantagrde it was never going to handle as well. After 2 years of ownership I would like to make it handle a bit better and take some of the softness/ wallow out of it. It has the standard 17 inch wheels but I have fitted Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetric tyres (255/ 60) and these are a great tyre and did make some improvement.Question is has anyone upgraded the standard shocks to something more sporting, say Bilstein or equal? Car has now done 160,000 km (or 100,000 miles).Thanks Adam

In your first post you specifically say that you have a 2005 ML.

W164 started with model year 2006.

If your veh. was built after July-Aug. 2005 then it is a W164. Any date before that it is a W163.

What is your full vin#?
