I have a '13 ML350 with non-airmatic suspension. I had posted a previous thread about the amount of body roll and movement in this suspension. It's bad. Like the springs are too soft or the shocks aren't firm enough or both. I also fee like a couple of good sway bars would help tremendously but I don't think there are any available for this car.

Anyway, I changed out my 19" factory wheels for some 22" ML63 replica wheels. It helped a lot but the body roll is still very bad. The sad thing is that the ride isn't even good. So I have soft suspension without a soft and smooth ride! So I'd like to try out some h&r springs, but wanted to see how others liked them on their ride. Specifically with low profile tires.

Also, does anybody have any laying around that they want to get rid of? Thanks

I also had the impression that the 13' ML350 BT had excessive roll, but I find the ride good as in soft. I would have bet $$ that the 22" tire/rim combo would have firmed up the ride.

You're right, the 22" wheels did stiffen up the overall ride since the sidewalls are so much thinner, but they also helped to reduce some roll and sway with the driving.

I'm comparing the ride to my dad's Lexus GX460 that is also on springs and shocks and the ride is much nicer in his.
