1999 S320 SWB

In the process of changing the front shocks on my 1999 Mercedes S320. However, I'm not sure on the type of shocks (with ADS or w/o ADS) to purchase. Your feedback appreciated.

Thanks,

Errol

GDMS it I see unlikely that your S320 has ADS which was standard on the S600 and an option for the S500. A simple solution is to look on your console and see if you have the ADS switch (on the right below the radio).

Wow your non ADS car has a checkered past---it started out as an SKD Vietnam car(knocked down in Germany and put back together)
