I wish to purchase the above shocks for my w164. Pleas what's your advice. I travel a lot and feel the B4 might not work. Also how is the ride on a B6
NOTE: I DONT have air suspension

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.

thanks for that feed back. Purchased my complete B6 last 2 weeks. Still waiting for them to arrive. Should take a week but for some reasons seems to be delayed. Any can't wait to kick off dem old shoes and put on the new pairs.

Hello Burac, I am also looking to replace the Shocks on my ML 350. Can ypou provide me with the site of store you purchased the shocks from? Thx. Lou

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

I have four B6 instaled in my 2009 ML 350 with 80.000 Km of good services, driving in no so good streets and roads in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguai and Chile. No body roll. As I said previously, the car suspension gets a little stiff when you install it.

Hi Johnml550. I am in the same position. B4 or B6 for a 2007 ML350.
Did you get the B4's or the B6's. How is the ride and handling?
