E450 Coupe awd C238
New Member

Hello , 2019 E450 awd coupe. 19k miles on the dial and owned for several months now. Got out of a Cadillac I really liked but nothing compares to Mercedes interior to me. Only thing that disappoints is the suspension . No air and has adaptive control. I don’t like my car slammed with a lot of camber but I do like it lowered and very crisp. Not any options I can find for a lowered more performance oriented stance. Have the H&R VTF springs with stock shocks and don’t like it. Can’t get much help from Google as to what happens if I just put a passive Bilstein B16 set up on or similar . Anyway , looking to learn more about these cars searching this forum and going to try not to void the warranty I bought, but already looking at ECU hard tunes.

Thank you MJ50, glad to be here so far . I actually have no pics of my car. Maybe when my wheels get done if I like them. There are no active coil over offerings for my model or cancellation kits for the active system . I have reached out to Bilstein and Fortune auto who replied they had no offerings . Have looked into KW, ST, K&W, Ohlins , TEIN, D2, BC Racing, Vogtland, Eibach, with no luck . Not sure if I just run regular coil overs if I lose the transmission, steering and throttle changes that come with Sport and Sport+ , if it will go into a limp mode or if I will just get a dash light ? A lot of info on BMW but I haven’t been able to find much on Mercedes. Crossing fingers someone will develope something soon. If I find something I will probably have pics then. Right now mine looks like all the rest .
