I chose B6 just to be able to travel more safety. The car gets a little harder, but it allowed me to go to the end of the world from the center of Brazil, crossing Argentina, Chile and Uruguay, literally reaching the end of the world that is the city of Ushuaia, south of Patagonia Argentina.

received the rear shocks. The shipping company seem to have a mix up with my front shocks but I'll wait. Below is the site you can get it at the best rates.

I usually get my car parts here through a 3rd party (a friend in the US) but he wasnt avaialable this time.

got my current shocks in Amazon at a higher price (just a few extra dollars).

Hi there. I have the 2011 MB ML 550 NO AIR suspension. I'm planning on installing the B6 Bilsteins vs the factory B4. Currently the ride is like a boat, lots of body roll. The B4 shocks worked fine at 35K miles up to about 70K. I'm at 90K miles and the ride is terrible with lots of body roll, On acceleration the hood goes up, and braking the nose down and tail up. Please let us know how the B6 ride is. Thanks, John
